found this on youtube, Bowler prepared P300 (if you go by the registration check) 90's.
Cannot find anything on the Bowler site itself to determine whether they are their own, or prepared for someone else, no information at all https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOBvxyPfbZU yet another pommie bar steward down under MY20 110 P400 SE Defender MY10 3.0 RR Sport |

Hopefully they bring out some aftermarket goodies based on these!
Like the sills, Lazer lights mounted where the fogs usually go… And if they can fit those wheels over the P400 brakes then I’ll be throwing money at them! Cheers, David Land Rovers of all shapes S3 onwards… Daily is a 110 V8. |

Full List of modifications
The "Bowler Defender Challenge" is based on the Land Rover Defender 90 with a 300PS Ingenium 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine.

Would be nice to think that we might be able to buy Bowler paddle shifters for our versions of the cars as only the V8 gets them at present. Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come
2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior. Now gone - old faithful, no mechanical issues whatsoever ever but the leaks and rattles all over the place won’t be missed! |

Yes that's one thing that I would love for mine the paddle shifters, I had them on the D4's I've owned and never used them on road but off-road they are great, means you can change gear without taking your hands from the wheel
Cheers Ian

I suspect that front end will be a popular mod. It looks much more purposeful than the standard arrangement. Darren
