Bit of a odd request,
is there any way of telling if this heritage grill is correct and genuine? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/222360844214?eui...Tags=bu=bu my father want's it for his defender in a bubble... it's a lot of money considering the copy pieces are in mass production now. kind regards |

There is a positive comment about Woodhouse in this thread
http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic51251.html Lot of money for a plastic grille - bit of a marmite item, I hated it on my heritage, but its grown on me a bit over time. That grille includes the badge, which are trading at about £100 alone.

Have you tried Dan at Duckworth Parts as maybe a more reliable source? James

Aren't genuine grills only available by producing a valid heritage VIN? Darren

I think it is a bit of a grey area. I got a quoted for a genuine Adventure Grille without a VIN number but couldn't justify the £540 cost. I know MCMA1 has several Adventure parts (grille, gear levers) so they must be available... James

Would it not be fairly easy to get the vin number off one?

Adventure as well as Heritage parts are available without producing a VIN. I bought several of each edition from Dan in UK as well as from my own dealer here in Switzerland without a problem. Have not tried to buy any Autobiography parts, but then again, nothing of interest there.
Eric You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation. http://youtu.be/yVRlSsJwD0o https://youtu.be/vmPr3oTHndg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GtzTT9Pdl0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABqKPz28e6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZ49Jce_n0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XvAsz_ilQYU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8tMHiX9lSw https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dxwjPuHIV7I https://vimeo.com/201482507 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSixqL0iyHw |
