Is it held on better than the standard snap off if you touch me vent ?

Hello


Yes screws into the holes left when you take the standard one off... (the pin holes)

Seems pretty secure?

Will have a proper look tomorrow as was going dark.


Thing is now the wing top vents have moved higher up my list Very Happy outch !!

^ I wasn't sure at first with the writing...


However I could always fill in and spray. I quite like it though must be worth at least 10 bhp with the text Smile


Tomorrow I may do some more sound proofing so will have a proper look while messing with the truck Smile

Looks good I think, even with the writing! Got mine to do soon, it currently has a forward facing scoop on which I'm not a fan of...

I had planned on replacing with stock LR part, but reading this thread suggests they're a bit rubbish?

It seems to be the norm for all of these manufacturers who make aftermarket products for the Defender to plaster their brand name far too prominently all over their products. Masai, Hannibal, KBX, Lazer, ClimAir are just a few of those on my car Rolling Eyes

I love the products but do wish the branding was less prominent.

Looks spot on - really suits your Defender Thumbs Up

Good to get the ACF50 in there also.
