Thanks Jomara,
Maybe I'll do another run on them after all? I had to change the spec as the first one at 3mm thick would have increased fuel consumption due to weight and was a complete b45t4rd to bend. It was good whilst it lasted and they sold like hot cakes! I can remember somebody trying to grasp a slice of the 'revenue pie' even then due to their success?

Are we sure this is a Nak product? looks like the hole cutout is a different shape to the Nak one fitted to mine... These cutout holes appear square, whereas the holes in my Nak grill are oval... just a thought |

I just removed mine, gave it a rub down and sprayed it silver. Coat of lacquer and refitted ... still looks great 5 years later and cost a few pounds to do Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.

That photograph of a grill put up by Mwd is a Nakatanenga grill. Yes it is a different pattern to the other photographs of different Nakatanenga grill.
A replacement grill has been sent to Mwd today. I do not have an explanation for why this has happened and will not give any BS explanation of what has happened. When we get it back we will send it back to Germany so they can inspect and try to understand Please note if anyone has an issue with an item supplied by us at 4x4overlander please let us know as soon as possible and if it is a reasonable issue we will do our best to resolve the issue.

Kudos Sadly the old fix it yourself nature of Defender ownership seems to be a diminishing art. Steve. Owned numerous Land Rover vehicles of all shapes and sizes over the decades. Current Defender: A non tarts hand-bagged Puma 110 XS USW. [Insert something impressive here such as extensive list of previous Land Rovers or examples of your prestigeous and expensive items, trinkets, houses, bikes, vehicles etc] http://forums.lr4x4.com I used to be Miserable ...but now I'm ecstatic. |

I rubbed mine down and repainted but using zinga so it should not rust again followed by extreme chassis black from frosts and stainless hex bolts. Looks stunning.

May I ask what fixings (specification) you used to attach it and where you got them from? Thanks. |

To me, they look like M5 security head stainless steel bolts, probably about 1.5cm long.
They are available lots of places, e.g.: https://www.securitysafetyproducts.co.uk/s...s-fixings/ I used them for my Heritage mud flaps... don't want them going walkies!! YOLO... You Only Live Once... |

Did anyone have any grief drilling out the old pop rivets. I’m using cobalt drill bits but they are as stubborn as anything.
Any tips? |
