It’s not for me but each to their own, I prefer a simple look, most don’t. Though to be fair it’s no different to the bolt on stuff LR sell at 3 times the price. The lunch box being one that springs to mind. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Well I like it, in fact I fitted one of these no taste, tacky parts to my Tesco truck

The kit came with the eyebrows bit I wasn’t really keen on those so never fitted them. Here’s a picture of mine, I’m guessing after reading this thread it won’t go down to well with some as I’m a sucker for tat,
but each to there own

Tacky parts have been fitted to Defenders for years ......... But this is 'Classic' tacky Defender.

l think the front lower spoiler looks okay. The front aspect of the new Defender is the worst part of it in my opinion so anything that changes it is worth trying.

I agree. I don’t know if it’s because they are now so commonplace around here but I think the jelly mould styling has already dated badly. Personally I think the more aggressively styled body kits from Urban etc are a big improvement and bring the car’s design up to date. Saying that, from the photos the wider Octa has decent presence. I think the next generation facelift from JLR will look more like the kitted ones now on the road. WARNING.

I'll take that as a compliment as I'm sure that's what it is.

I just need some of those really tacky wind deflectors now to finish it off

The only person whose opinion matters on the aesthetics is you. If you like the way it looks then awesome. Hell it might actually be helping improve your mileage by extending the air dam lower. 2022 Defender 110 SE P400 Tasman Blue Expedition and Cold weather package

How do you get at the front recovery eye ?

It mostly clips into place but also uses the four fixing screws/bolts along the bottom of the front cover. in theory it should be quite easy to remove, however I'm not sure if it would still be in one piece on completion of this as some of the plastic would appear to be a bit brittle.

I never thought of that, I'll have to monitor the mpg, if it does improve I'll let you know

, but originally I thought it might be better at clearing the snow on the tracks around our farm than improving the mpg
