They are available with 55 watt halogens for an extra £60 or so, but to fit ones own being 5mm steel would be much too labour intesive and time consuming for me with the drilling, cutting and filing, also in mitigation with the Lightforces and recent JW Speakers I've sufficient lighting requirements for my needs.

 If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

Treat every day as if it is your last....one day you will be right!!

A bit of rust is fine, get over it. Scratches remind you of an event, a "near miss" "that time when we dragged an Argo out of a bog". It makes it your Defender. Being battered tells it's story, it seperates it from being just a mode of transport.

If your Land Rover is in showroom condition, it's boring. It's just a car. Which is probably fine if your an insurance salesman.

So by your reckoning I can get a fully galvanised bumper for £29.52? I'll take a 100, good profit margin there for me! As to the rest of your delightful post, the defender is just one of my cars and not my main mode of transport, and yes it is just a car. The rust, if it was 24 years old like yours then I would not be bothered but as it is 2 and a bit and cost 30K I'll replace the bumper under warranty every time it starts to rust because I can and when it needs replacing again out of warranty I'll look elsewhere for a replacement bumper like this one from Entreq. I couldn't remember if I had read any of your posts before? but a quick search soon revealed this, http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic11266.html now I understand your above comments.

Each to his own

Galv bumpers are actually £35 once you add the dreaded on.
