Has anyone else seen this done before
Not to my taste but thats what makes Defender so great, they're all customisable to our own tastes: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/2...mp;fromsra |

It's certainly different. I quite like the wheels, though. Darren

Spotted at the start of the year some (what I assume) are "new" Defender parts on a Disco also?

That's a Defender for me, someone tailoring it to their taste
But my lord, it's ugly  but then again, that is my taste a defender from 1984 pretending to be a puma with a touch of Range Rover |

In many ways it’s quite innovative, but in other ways it’s - why?

So what you are saying is it is like when you see a sleeping cat. You know you shouldn't poke the cat but you do because you can. Then you remember the reason why not to do it

I would have thought that the New Defender rear lights on the classic Defender raised some questions about legality and viewing angles. Also unless the New Def rear lights incorporate reflectors, I suspect another issue.
Then there is the question of taste, but each to his/her own. |

indeed it is... might as well change the bonnet lettering, too (how everyone knows what a Pretender is  ) |
