[Wanted] Genuine Land Rover Bumper End Caps
Does anyone have a pair of these going spare or have a good source for them? I'm not too excited at the prospect of having to spend £50 on a pair so I thought I'd ask here first...

I've got a pair, genuine I think but can check. They're not pristine but I can get photos tonight if you like?

Are you keeping your source a secret?

£11.40 each at Paddocks. Afermarket but I couldn't tell the difference and still good 5 years on.

Paddocks order arrived today, the replica end caps came directly from britpart and will be heading directly back to them on Monday morning. They are terribly made, the mould in which they were made was obviously not lined up properly! Also the holes for mounting the fir trees don't even come close to lining up with those on the genuine bumper!

Serves me right for trying to save a few pounds!! Genuine ones will be ordered this evening.

If its not too late, have you tried some of the sponsors on here or Urban, Bowler etc who sometimes have brand new "take off" parts like that for sale? Although I suppose that source must be drying up very quickly now.

Thank you, there are a few new take off complete bumpers around, but i bought a genuine bumper a couple of months ago so no point going for the whole lot really. I've just picked up a new genuine pair on eBay. Once paddocks shipping is considered, the genuine ones are only costing me ten pounds more!
