Yes and never again !
Got a full set and had them sprayed but when I went to fit them virtually nothing lined up and I would have ended up drilling numerous new mounting holes in them. Also the back profile of the arch was not quite the same as originals so that would have taken a while to sort out. Sold them on and got a full genuine set sprayed Santorini black. Fitted on my 2013 90 without any problems. They will be going up for sale as I reverted to the original body coloured arches when I sold the vehicle.

Genuine are expensive but definitely the way to go.
If you don't go new, try a breakers and triple check they are 100% un-damaged. (Or from different vehicles) If you want them colour coded you'll likely need them painted anyway, so unless you want off the shelf colour like Bob has. I needed colour coded so I went to a breakers for just one, prices are half that of genuine. |

I do, though standard satin black finish, not gloss. Removed from a 2011 90. Got a set in silver too, not sure what silver, but came off a 2009 110. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic49131.html Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant. |
