Defender 2014 wing top to front angle change?
Hi, I'm completely new to this manual labour thingy but learning fast thanks to modifying my defender...

I ordered a pair of hinged lamp guards from paddock spares (Paddock have been pretty fantastic for all the other ordered items) however, the angle of the wing is very different to the angle of the lamp guard and thus they don't fit. The lamp guard is Paddocks own make.

When i spoke to paddock about this, they asked what year my vehicle was, to which there was a level of acceptance that they don't fit.

I have two questions. Well three now... Smile

Has the angle of attack of the wing changed on 2014 models forward? (I have a 64 plate)

If i order hinged lamp guards from else where, will i experience the same issue?

I've now fitted KBX grille and lamp surrounds, will the hinged lamp guards fit over these?

Sorry about all the questions Smile

Thanks in advance

Michael

I've never heard of that before! I'm assuming they were the right way up? An engine to TDi for!

Haha yes most definitely the right way up, maybe a landrover aerodynamic 'enhancement' 😄
