Default Aftermarket.?

Instructions & Powerfuluk.com showed a complete new under bracket

LAND ROVER ACCESSORY FITTING INSTRUCTIONS


edit - found it: chinese counterfeit / copy. Instead of Belgium made thick Alu and nicely designed bracket.

Maybe you don't understand.

You buy aftermarket / copy parts from China. Why did Landrover decided not to produce them there as cheap as possible ?
Because there went a lot of reseach and designing to develop this product It need to be a heavy duty part, and as you can see on the video from Powerfuluk.com
the under bracket alone is 4,75 kg, plating of undershield is 5 mm thick . I'am proud this product is perfectly made in Belgium.

so on your § 80k car you saved a few hundred bucks...
but remember,

​​​​Poor quality remains, while low price is long forgotten..

Sir,

appreciate your comments, be aware the standard front protection of the D110 is very substandard.

Yes, despite that I agreed to purchase, to the tune of 92K.

So here is the image of substandard factory OEM front under shield.

Therefore a compromise with even the aftermarket parts is a BETTER than delivered with truck OEM PLASTIC SHIELD...
