I hate spending money...ask the wife ...but when i do spend money, i like to spend it ONCE, not three times!

I like (when spending money) to get a product that a)works b)meets and exceeds my expectations c)has a warranty worth its weight when something does fall below my expectations d)has tollerances to deal with unexpected occurances (eg a fly flying into it) e)lasts f)of good quality

My granddad (a wise man) often told me, buy cheap pay twice - hes not ever been wrong. Mike

Yet, when you come to think of it, you can replace the forty-quids bumper 3 or 4 times before spending as much as the cost of a single one of those presumably better bumpers... that you will eventually bend anyway.

But when you then add postage, VAT, time to remove, Time to refit, hassle, the fact that you will need to replace that at the same time as the ABS modulator at £1500 or similar - it wont be cheaper

Plus....will you.. you may bend an expensive one (when you are really playing) but you can often straighten them a few times too Mike

Unfortunetly I dont have the cash to throw £400 on a bumper which has some fancy lights which are not required in them.

I was just stating a point that one could be made for £150 ish and would be just as good.

After all your points are based upon hear say and opinion, no one has seen either bumper to judge its quality the bumper from TD5 alive could be the paddocks bumper with holes cut into it could it not?

The bumper could also be made from a bit of 6mm channel, galved and then powder coated, would stand a fly hitting it and probabally a range rover, cost FA.

Ive seen them...and their cross members...and other similar parts.

Ill stand by my comments  Mike

I'll come in with you on the chrome wipers Andrew - look awesome, well worth £300 of anyone's money! I'd pay extra for their fly-proof qualities.

Seriously though, we all choose to spend our money on whatever we want. Some people like the idea of DRL's, some don't, I wouldn't expect anything else. Otherwise we'd all be driving exactly the same Land Rover in exactly the same spec and colour, and where would be the fun in that? I don't think anyone should be expected to justify what they choose to spend their own money on - and I'm a Yorkshireman too!
