I am looking to get a spare wheel cover for my black Defender 110 XS. Can't find any reliable source where the cover has the Defender Lettering. But I really want it for the OEM looks. Anybody know of a reliable source that ships to Germany?
You can search on ali express and ask the seller through chat (official images on ali express may hide the letters). You can even ask for additional images for the items. I got mine from ali express and I am happy with it. The quality is great. Only thing to complain is shipping time. It took about a month to ship from China to Canada
@trekker - If serious, you should ping @Dogpilot . He had a custom job done with a dinosaur on it, so anything's possible. I want to go with the Lion King emblem, but am not motivated enough to go thru the hassle.
Can you point us to a dealer on Ali that you had good experiences with? I am a little cautious ordering on Ali.
I purchased from "LBH - Car Parts Store". I got one with a drain hole at the bottom (slightly more expensive than standard). This version was not listed in the store, I chatted with the staff at the store to get it.
These painted covers with DEFENDER lettering were everywhere in early 2022. They have now a bit, ahem, disappeared... I wonder if JLR put the kibosh on it?
Definitely get the one with a drain hole at the bottom.
The one I got from Vulkan in early 2022 didn't have the grommet, but btw looked absolutely genuine and had the DEFENDER lettering embossed on it, and had the little foam pad on the inside the genuine one has-- but it filled up with water in the rain. Vulkan was chill and said they'd send a new one free over to me, as the product was since revised... but I just took it off the car and tossed it in the attic and decided I like the rugged AT tires on the rear better than the R2D2 cover. (it's Eiger grey and basically new if anyone wants it... although I wasn't happy with the Eiger paint match, I wonder if they sent me Carpathian).
Notably though, when you posted this I looked at their site. They stopped selling the painted spares and only now do a more expensive carbon fiber one. And the carbon fiber one does NOT have the DEFENDER lettering.
