Thread: Defender wrap around bars

Why?

They dont do anything....

Can you post a photo..

If its the euro style ones, they're usually only about 20mm away from your panels so if skippy gives it a nudge your panel gets squished.

Plenty of photos on the pommie websites to look at and give it a go yourself to make them up, they are a good idea.

Never seen one here except on the odd overseas tourist, so I rather doubt if they do exist.

Do you mean the bar that goes from the front, protects the front fender and goes down to the sill?

There is one in the Seabird tip, north of Perth, towards the top of the scrap metal pile.

I threw it away last week.

As others have said why
Simply a British idea that is useless under Australian conditions
If you hit a roo they damage the body panels as thier mountings are so poorly designed. I suspect the designers had no idea what it means to hit something like we could hit on a daily basis.
IMHO

I think that is perhaps a little harsh - they are simply designed to protect the bodywork from light scrub, not animals. Not useless, just not what most people here need; I can visualise a few people wanting something like them.
