They look ok.

I like the new 26MY simplistic style.

Yes they do look good. l am hoping it's possible to fit the flush rear lights to older models but it may be expensive to get all the parts needed.

Been on the Defender a week now.

l think they look okay, although it wouldn't be worth buying the vents at new prices. Easy to take off if you change your mind!

lt's not a modification you're going to see very often, as few will take the standard vents off their Octa and sell them.

But there's been two sets on here.

I think the OCTA side vents look pretty good. But those MY26 ones! Boring blob car-esque. Current (LR):

Former
2022 Defender 110 V8 P525 - Carpathian Grey

in these last examples, Is it just my eyesight or an optical illusion… but they don’t seem to fit the profile of the hole very well!? The fin plate appears to have a slightly distinct curve!! Defender 110 SE I6 D250 23MY

Mine fitted okay, although both needed minor modification to fit the standard Defender, particularly the left one (near side in the U.K.) that needs a bit of the plastic trimming on the inside of the vent so it fits perfectly

On the subject of OCTA accessories, the 'right hand' raised air intake , see above, will not be available direct from LR, unless ordered by a Main Dealer, giving VIN, registration number, owners name and inside leg measurement.........

Only (un-available) in gloss black with chopped carbon gold fleck.

I am sure China will have a 'copy' on the Net soon.
