Real or Fake?
Curious if this is actually fitted / screwed on or just for show? Clearly on a Puma. The grab handle, not the girl Whistle

There something else wrong with that picture. Her feet aren’t resting on a Puma dash. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

God, I've realised I'm well and truly engrained in Defender life when I had already noticed something fishy about that photo on Instagram. My girlfriend mocks me when I tell her, 'but that's not quite a Puma dash' when she assumed I was perving at the girls legs.

Back to original question Thud

Probably real as there is little point 'sticking' it there or just fixing through the head lining, but I don't know how it was done as there is nothing naturally there...or am I missing something Question

I wanted a JFC handle for the passenger too...(or my wife does) so used the roof channel to get X4 Rivnuts in to anchor the grab handle.

Why not put a grab handle on the A pillar. They just use the existing screws holding the plastic trim on. How strong it is I wouldn't know however.
