So I got 98 'views' and NO replies. Are they rare ?
I decided to built my own, as I don't think they are available from JLR separately, only part of a kit ??  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Mine are taller, higher fitting than the JLR units. They are secured with Large Head Torx Bolts. |

Not visible on my MY23.5 X-Dynamic pack with the gloss black lowers.
Which pack do they come in? |

Expedition protection pack or something like that wasn’t it? I seem to recall that it gave a higher clearance on each corner as well as extra protection.
Not very popular as it doesn’t really add very much to be honest, the approach angle is already very good. |

The idea of the raised corners is indeed better clearance.
I'am looking for them a long time, I'am a bit sick cleaning the mud between the rubber air deflectors and the corners. https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic83517.html No Mud flaps for my 90.! ----------------------------------------- P300 S on air, adv.+ offroad pack, DRL+fog, Dinamica Suedecloth + Ebony headliner/Cross Beam- Many Mods.. |

Yes, I'm not sure about the Rubber Spats, that sit beneath the Corners. These have an effect on water flying over the bonnet and onto the windscreen, of which the New Defender is bad at.
(I had experience of these type of Spats on an earlier project. JLR had two goes at getting them right, smaller Spats on earlier model got replaced by bigger Spats on later models.) I will test as it is now, if needed I can always remove the Rubber Spats. To get the effect I have ...... I simply acquired a set of Plastic Corners (from a breaker) and cut/model the shape I needed. |

Here are the official install instructions, if anyone cares to see just how much work is involved just to raise the corners by what looks to be no more than an inch.

Wow that's a lot of work.
Not sure the small advantages of this kit are worth it, although the front bash plate would be worth fitting on its own. |
