This is the bonnet on my 109 stage 1 diesel 3.9....
Im pretty sure this is for a spare wheel. I have the bolts that go into the 2 pins as well. So not an impossible task to fit or open the bonnet unless you have to reach over a bullbar that protrudes a long way forward, like on my s3.
Cheers Rod.
By the way my s3 was the ONLY land rover at 2016 S Aust. all British Day that had a spare on the bonnet...

What, convince her, or paint it?

My bonnet has been reinforced and has scissor lifts on both sides which makes lifting with tyre easy.

how does adding these things make it easy or easier to lift?

A Defender and aero should be prohibited from being used in the same sentence!
It's a bloody oxymoron!
I tried to include Serg's comment too, but I can't seem to multiquote in tapatalk.
I too have read that the tyre there has been found to improve fuel economy, but lifting it up there, particularly with 130HD rims would be a real PITA, let alone the stress on the hinges and bonnet itself.
Having a tyre on the bonnet would have to interfere with the airflow over the bonnet to the high pressure area at the base of the windscreen. I would if the presence of the tyre would affect the ability of hot air to exit from the engine bay?
