KBX Signature or normal
Has anyone installed the KBX signature front grill as opposed to the normal one with bars?

Any views or opinions?

Looks like a lot of mesh which is stainless in the premium version - but would look different than the norm!

It's also £400 so quite an investment. Would love to see any photos if anyone has opted for it Very Happy

If you spent that much you should at least try and use some security screws or it could be nicked in minutes.

I can't make my mind up if I like KBX grilles or not really.
I like the look but not that they sit proud.

Wasn't happy with any AM grille, so had a bespoke one made. SS, powder coated, 1 week and just £175. Have subsequently added light guards to and will change the Land Rover letters to 'Defender' to finish off the look....

Very nice!

Looks not unlike the Kahn military grill, but at a fraction of the cost Very Happy 2015 Overfinch Defender XS 90

Thank you. Very pleased with the result and looks smarter now with the guards on either side. It was what was used as the inspiration (copy... Whistle ). The Kahn version is £450, (plus delivery to France) and then has the embossed 'Kahn' name. Given its association with bling/footballers, I was keen to avoid it, oh and save a bundle of cash!!

Just need a Bowler bumper and steering guard to complete the front end!! Monsieur Le Grenadier
