2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Zambezi Silver

Bowler 90's

Dropped the 110 off at MJ Fews for it's service + MOT this morning & the place was awash with Bowler 90's for sale.
I think they had 4 or 5 of them.
They look quite understated in the flesh, especially in comparison to that Kahn long-nosed monstrosity posted elsewhere on the forum.
Really like the cills + bumper + steering guard.
Not so keen on the look of the gear + transfer box levers. '57 Defender 110 XS Station Wagon 2.4tdci

We sell quite a lot of the Bowler bumpers, side cills, rear steps and wheels but very few gear levers, I think you're right, they are an acquired taste

Yes, the rear steps look good as well.
I didn't notice them on the drop-off, but had another snoop around when waiting to pick up in the evening.
Sort of a two part NAS step for the 21st century.
Prefer the black over the silver finish.
Also surprised at the amount of extra room that the Recaro seats + Momo wheel give you.
I reckon I could happily have driven the 90SW without Mud seat rails.
12 months ticket & no advisories - Yeay!!

Actually, I think that looks better than the Bowler levers

I can see that Bowler have tried to achieve the look of a sequential 'box shifter, but it just doesn't look right in a Defender cabin IMHO.
Particularly in the graphite colour.
And they're £450

They might look weird but boy do they feel better than the standard fare
