Got around to fitting this grille the other day but still unsure if I like it..



I'm not overly keen on them, but on your particular vehicle I think it works really well - as said before it does make the vehicle look less conservative and more miltarian. Goes well I think with the overall box-like style of your truck. I like it in a Robocop kinda way Thumbs Up 2005 TD5 90 Hard Top

I'm not keen on the grill usually either but think it looks good on yours as it's colour matched Very Happy

Not really a fan of those grilles, but the hardtop etc looks nice.

I never used to like them, but they have grown on me. I do think it looks good on yours though, as it blends in well!

Like the grille Thumbs Up
Looks like you've got (?ClimAir) wind deflectors on the front windows. How the hell did you fix them without them cracking and/or jamming the windows? I tried everything (got through 2 sets before I gave up). I'm beginning to think my doors are off kilter... Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

think the grill and light surrounds suit it well, I like them when the middle bars are cut out and mesh put in as well DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy

Have you read May (I think) Land Rover Monthly? They did quite a good write up on how to fit them.

Slipping in was not the problem - it was jamming when the windows went up and then "crush injuries" to the plastic.
I'll check out LR Monthly - cheers GUM Thumbs Up Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
