The pack comes with paint and plastic etch lables anorl.
Sadly the market in second hand tratter bits is massive. Mainly because owners will buy them. Its too easy to sell on the stolen parts. Like the ebay guy who had something like 10 puma bonnets for sale. Said he'd removed them and some bs about upgrades...

But my issue with these physical barriers is that they all have a weak point - the lock. There are ways of opening locks without the key (a locksmith could tell you but they won't). Duplicate and dummy keys are available. Only a few years ago hundreds of Ford Transits were broken into and either stolen of the poor tradesman had all of their tools stolen. There was no sign of damage and no clue to how it was done. Many insurance companies refused to settle the claim because it appeared the van had been left unlocked. It later emerged that an adjustable key which would fit any Transit van was available on ebay for £80.
There are a number of ways to disable a LR with hidden switches, The battery, starting motor, fuel pumps and even the fuel line itself. These hidden switches are unique to each vehicle and would take a would-be thief too long to determine why the engine will not start.
So, here are my suggestions for security:
1) Highly visible security device (Disklok) to deter the opportunist thief.
2) Hidden switches to immobilise the engine and thwart the more determined criminal.
3) Tracker (I haven't got one) but they can be expensive.
4) Possibly the most important is a GOOD insurance policy, one that will not only replace the vehicle but all those expensive add-ons as well.
Some great advice both above and in the other posts. I would just echo the point above that the locks are the weak link; without going in to detail, there is very cheap kit out there (and I mean cheap!) and, even in the hands of the unskilled, will 'probably' defeat what's out there for us Landy owners. A skilled or well practised person should have no probs bypassing these barrel locks in literally minutes, at most. That said, I have a pedal lock and disklok on my Defender because its another line of defence and that equals delay for these sh**s.

I rarely even lock mine. Famous last words I know but what a difference to living in the UK. I always fancied a quick release steering wheel.
