Air con front
Can anyone tell me if it is just a case of fitting the aircon style shroud to get the aircon look or do you need to change the slam panel? Thanks

I used the air con front shroud and the original bonnet shut, but I did have to make it fit, not that you’d tell.

Looks great mine is Keswick also, what did you do to make it fit?
Cheers

Thanks! When the bonnet is opened I had to pop rivet two pieces of tin to the bonnet panel to extend it, then I was able to screw the sticky out grill to these.

Should not need to do anything to the slam panel. My 2012 has AC from factory, and the slam panel does not look any different from my 1988 90.

Just 2 little brackets on the lower end, see: https://yrmit.co.uk/product/pair-s-s-mount...-defender/ 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Got it sorted. Had to slightly realign the passenger wing.
