Got a steering guard sorted now thanks Simon

Courtesy of Clayton I now have a genuine landrover steering gaurd.

It's not the newer style one that I was originally after, however, I think it will suit the 90 well.

I got it painted up after work today, hopefully I'll get it fitted tomorrow

Thank you chaps

I'm going to get some nylon washers and stainless fixings (tomorrow hopefully) to isolate the aluminium face plate from the galvanised bracket

I'm going to go for Torx flanged cap head bolts (if my local fixings specialist has them in) which should look quite smart.

As for durability, I've loaded it up with lacquer to the max so should be fairly resilient.

In all honesty I've bought it for appearance rather than function. I do take my 90 off road, but to to the point where I'd risk damaging things.

Same applies for all of my vehicles really. If its going to ground out I probably won't attempt it

No, I definitely don't want to traumatise anyone with my sarcasm.

I can't help the bad dad jokes though. I think it must be an age thing. Like making a strange grunting sound when getting up off the sofa or thinking all new cars look the same.

Happy to come to the rescue with the steering guard

The 90 will look spot on with the steering guard all painted up now

Well the steering guard is on

I'm glad I did it black, I think it suits the front end. Will keep my eyes peeled for the later style front plate as this one leaves a gap between the guard and the bumper whereas the later ones are shaped to fit.

Overall though, I'm pleased

Looks great but that gap will be ruinous for your drag coefficient.
