Headlamp Guards any recommendations.
All
Would like to fit a set of light guards to the front of my 2011my puma does anyone have any tips on whatt to go for or avoid?
I thinking of poor coatings etc, i will be using stainless screws and duralac paste to stop dissimilar metal reaction, so i dont want the guards to drop to bits 6 month later!
Cheers

Duralac won't stop the corrosion, many don't look right because they are put on straight and 99% of Defender wings droop, so they are not straight with the light surrounds! The ones in the picture over come that if you like them.

They look like a pair of hands from Norfolk are covering the lenses, they don't look right IMO. Nick

Agreed, both sets would look better just square, they don't look right to me. They would sell well if they got the design right...

Like the bumper, nice Whistle

LRS light guards.

The problem, as mentioned, is the the front wings are not lined up. When I fitted the guards I lined them up to the wings, one day I may align the wings correctly.

Bumper is still sitting in the boiler room looking for a new home Whistle
