Bloody expensive, a normal bumper is £65 from paddocks, cut out some holes and fit some lamps, £150 tops.

Could even use the naktatannnngaaaaa driving lights for only £85 for a pukka job.

Have all you lads won the lottery?

Id rather run someone over than pay nearly £400 to warn them away.

Like 99.9999% of so called defender "light upgrades", they're just not necessary.

There is a running joke in our club about extra lights. when someone outside the group is seen stuck somewhere, someone will say "he'll be fine, he has a light bar" Laughing

May be a new way of getting out of mud, heat it up till it no longer contains water?

You can hardly call paddocks bumpers good quality replacements though! Mike

I have to correct my post they are actually £35, plus the end caps.

So at that price I could buy one a year for 10 years and still come under the TD5 Alive price!

Having never seen the bumper from either outfit, I cant comment on quailty, have you seen the paddocks bumper?

Idea At that price for the Paddocks one, you could get it galvanised and powder coated, so it would last 10 years for not a lot of cash.

Instead of D.R.L. I still find the old school option of H.O.R.N. seems to alert most people to my presence Thumbs Up Jon - 110 td5 [sold]. Currently Defenderless.

That sounds greatly exaggerated Laughing

I ordered one of those in replacement of the genuine one that I bent accidentally, and it seems stiffer than the original part.
