I have been toying with the idea of fitting the military style front bumperette to my series for a long time. I came across this picture on Facebook market place which is the same colour as mine and it has reignited the question, if I did fit I would be looking at the bare galv finish the same as the bumper. Just after people opinion yes or no. If it makes a difference I will be fitting a capstan shortly but am still collecting parts to get the complete kit to fit.

My series III:

Bare galv. They look good & stand out better than painted.
(That gxc number plate… does it have any landrover ownership history?)

Bare galv is Definitly the way to go but the question is whether to fit the bumperettes or leave the bumper as it is.

Yes why not, they will keep their money if you change your mind in the future.

Take off the bumper & rotate it. Holes will be underneath. Only you would know the holes are there

Fair enough, keep an eye out for the complete thing instead.
