Another concern was that the 4x4 accessary shop said (as I dropped the car off) that they were looking forward to doing the job......it was their first on a New Defender. [bigsmile]
Picked up the car and I need not have worried. They did an excellent job except that the "loop" referred to above was not fitted. It seems this part had been supplied to Rhino in Australia but the batch was unsatisfactory. They are expecting a new shipment of the components and will supply it to be fitted in due course. In the mean time I quite like the look of the bar without the loop. This does, however, leave the front camera somewhat exposed. I have read that some people were concerned about the ventilation/airflow to the radiators. I can confirm that it is better than it was with the original bumper bar.
If anyone else in Tasmania is wanting to get a Rhino Bar, I am happy with the service from Tassie 4x4. [smilebigeye]
