Following this mornings assault on the disco's bumper end cap by a dozy corsa driver, what add-ons do you suggest for a 110 CSW?
Sill bars?
Tried ordering the basic ones from 'addocks, no stock, no delivery date for more, same elseware, looks like self build time so:
I need photo's of them, pre install, during if poss, and installed, esp. underneath, anyone got any?

<---HD front and rear bumpers, preferably with corner cover. Rock sliders or tree sliders, a lift, big tyres, lots of lights, reflective tape on the bumper corners, sports exhaust, big horns and (if the hippie tree huggers are to be believed) the 4 horsemen of the appocolypse riding at my shoulder. People still try to drive into it, it's invisible, so must yours be :?

RRB, your problem is it's camouflaged with all that mud...

:roll: LOL

Heavy Duty front bumper, rear bumperettes...& rear tow hitch, rock/tree sliders, front steering guard...be a shame to bend your steering arm reversing off a Corsa :twisted:
-
E-bay 120157652291 rather like the under bumper bit, not much use off road though ;-)
-
Tow bars are great as if some runs in the back of you they will come off worse,normally a leakey rad after impact

Bunnies Dad backended her mum while she was driving the defender.
His XJR's rad ended up on top of the engine :) OOPS!
-
i can vouch for tow bars taking out the rads... too my aircon one out with a rangies plus the bonnent with his tailgate!

Indeed, I've put the Southdown tank guard and tow bracket kit that came with it on now, steering guard and diff guard to fit this weekend...
I'd like the mil bumperettes front and rear, as well as sill guards, but I need to look at a set installed first before buying as I have an idea I might be better off making my own again. Anyone local or perpared to photograph some for me?

an absolute tool drove into the back of my disco earlier this year in his clio...
unfortunately for him i'd just fitted a nato hitch to my tow bar, it wrecked his car, but didn't even mark mine..
funniest thing was after we'd exchanged details he took off like a rocket with water pouring out of his rad.. must have trashed the engine before he got home...

Well you know what they say, renal clit, every Twunts got one...
Please delete if inapropriate moderator.

Someone must have photo's of sill bars prior to install surely?
Getting a little fed up with suppliers advertising goods, so making my own is next on the agenda!

Not got pictures but all the ones for a defender I've seen up close have the same method of mounting.
At the rear they have a tube that slides into the chassis outrigger and at the fron are a couple of tabswhich go either side of the big bolt at the bottom corner of the bulkhed which goes through the chassis.
The aftermarket on I've seen the tube was not very long, were as on a friends home made one its just the right length to go right up inside the outrigger and rest up against chassis.
A google image search found this which might help

Hummm, food for thought, though the 110 has 2 outriggers behind the bulkhead one, and they're not tubular, but it all helps!
I feel a plan coming together :-)
