I think the 110 front looks slightly better, but the stage1 front will let you chop more of the guards off... I would probably use the stage 1.

Go late County with the oz extended A/C grille, you can then fit a humungous intercooler........

Yes, but IMO cut plastic light surrounds would look crappy - but I am happy for you to prove me wrong.

If you can get them, series 2 front guards, cut in your own headlight buckets the cut the fronts up as high as possible.

Heaps of clearance!

OOPS, I didn't read all that well did I?? Still, IF you get sick of the V8, IF you want to go diesel, then there is enough room for a decent sized intercooler...

defender front

Post by Hally »

I have an extended front grill in mine only because I had to fit a custom radiator a/c radiator twin thermo's and two big oil coolers one for the auto one for the engine . The problem I have now is the winch bar I made with the high mount wont fit and the bar hangs out a fair bit . losing a bit of aproach angle might have to move the radiator back on to the tray so I can move the bar as far back as possible dont want to have to make up extended plates :cry:
