So does that mean that there are going to be big rivets on the doors and fenders?

I know I said I was stepping back for a bit

But

Please please please tell me LEGO
Has NOT got it right with the ugly as sin wide guard attachment slugs

As BR has suggested looks like a nod to Puma esk bonnet bulge and wing guards

But those guard flares can go jump in a Jeep creek and drown

There is a fair bit of the lego that looks nothing like the pilots.

Roof, flares, winch spot, snorkel missing, bullbar missing, Bonnet bulge too high, lights look too pronounced, i think they have just gone off the pilots and tweaked it and got LR permission to use brand..but hey could be wrong.

Why couldn't it look like that under the camo?

Look, bonnet and winch position in pilot shots, compare against lego.

Highly doubt flares will have exterior bolt on (torana style) as even current defender has smooth concealed mounting.

Having said that for sure there is something weird going on both under tusk wrap vent area and inconsistency of headlight covers in different pilots shots, some covers look riveted on, others factory mount, some ribbed lowers others not.

Anyone have any ideas whats going on behind vent with arrow in pic.

I wonder if they will do a white roof as a nod to the old ?
