Brunel silver front grill and light surrounds
So, were these just normal black grills that have been painted from Land Rover?

The reason I ask is that Miffys are painted and are looking a little shabby. I like the silver front end, but not the £200 +/- price tag they are new.

Or should Miffy go back to black?! What do you think?

With your black wing tops I would say black. If you had bare aluminum wing tops then probably the silver

Black also looks better on white Defenders.

So black surrounds and grill is the way we are going this time around, back to what Miffy used to have fitted.

As I found her many many years ago...
