OEM lamp guards
Evening all,

I'm keen to add lamp guards to both ends of the Station Wagon. I've looked at the options on Britpart, but am wondering what the 'official' LR option was on the 2.4. Does anyone have the part numbers for front and back please?

Many thanks

TH

Not exactly close ups but mine came with the OEM front and rear light guards.

@THR32.
My 110 came with LR front & rear lamp guards already fitted by the previous owner.
From my experience, my advice would be not to bother.
In no particular order:
You have to drill dirty great big holes in your body panels.
The metal 'P clip' hinges are flimsy & rot very quickly - Although plastic alternatives are available.
The front rivnuts tend to spin in their holes, and are a pain to keep from seizing up, as are the rear bolt fittings.
It's a pain to clean your headlamps if you have big hands.
I tried to replace mine, due to them looking tatty, but the fitting tabs on the new set did not line up with the existing holes in the bodywork, so will have to get the old ones re-painted.
The rear guards prohibit fitting tyres over 235/85 R16, as the door mounted 'standard' spare only just clears the guard when fully opened.
Apart from that they're great! '57 Defender 110 XS Station Wagon 2.4tdci

I've had them on my 110 from new and although I like the go anywhere appearance I would opt not to have them on my new one as they do need maintenance to keep looking nice and they are a pain when you wash the car.

+1 for not bothering with them

holes in bodywork,hard to clean behind , i would rather break a light then dent the bodywork

Not OEM but several good examples here and one that was put to test with a brick thrown off a lorry at 50mph.

As above they are a pain to clean the lights.
I took mine off after an altercation with a wheely bin that resulted in a dented wing rather than a broken indicator lense Embarassed Whistle
