Looking good!
What is the grille cable-tied over the spotlights on the bull bar in the last pic?
You mean this one?
It is just a piece of mesh made out of 3mm steel bar that is then powder coated (and i then painted it black which has slowly flaked off). I picked up a 2m square sheet of it to create guards for the spotlights on the bullbars. it is just held on with heavy duty cable ties which are there to keep it in place any impact will be pushing against it and in that case the bullbar itself will supports it. It prevents my (a long time ago) very expensive Hella spotlights getting broken on branches on overgrown lanes, or close hedge work at the field margins.
Fitted one to the TD5 I am borrowing and friend has one fitted to his as well all form the same piece of square mash. It might not be necessary on the td5 as they are small led lights that are set further back and more robust than the large diameter glass lens of the hella's but part of it is it is what I am used to and for me is what makes it look "right" and like it is mine. (I replaced the gray seat covers with black ones for the same reason, it just didn't feel right)
