Rovercare - pictured- has done it & someone ( who would know) suggested that I fit one as my LPG conversion goes beyond my normal bonnet.

Natt the real question is WHY ?

The new bonnets make it impossible (well, much harder) to cover in chequerplate for a place to stand (if required) or mount a spare wheel (if required) and also look gay.

:D

"WHY" is a fair question.


"Why" would you want to stand on the bonnet? (I've never felt that urge)
"Why" would you put a spare wheel on the bonnet? (I already have one mounted on the back)
"Why" does it look gay? (see answer to question 1)
:p;)

Becuse its different to traditional land rovers to appeal to the bumpy bonnet lowered car crowd ! :lol2:

What I've noticed is that anyone who knows anything about Defenders has a look at the bonnet first before starting a conversation.

I had a long chat at the fuel bowser the other day with a Disco 2 driver who is considering buying one...it was the first thing he did after saying hello.

The D2 has a bump on the bonnet too.

Vlad...what are you banging on about. lowered car crowd, looks gay, you'll keep.

I think it looks quite good, actually I am thinking of getting a decal to go on the side of the raised hump saying "that's the ****". But I could be joining the bogan brigade to with my gay lowered car.:D
