I'm still waiting to find someone in UK to cut/bend some chequer for the bonnet. I haven't invested too much time in to that yet but will do so soon.
I was under the impression they are not road legal in the UK due to the guillotining effect in a crash?
Well I checked the other day at the MOT station and they said they wouldn’t fail the vehicle because of them when it came to mot time. so I’m good with that
I quite fancy these as they look like the original. I won’t be using rivets just stuck on. Does anyone think this would be an issue?
I wouldn't have thought so for occasional standing on etc but for frequent use of weighting/unweighting coupled with direct sun/shade (ok we're not in the UAE) I would rivet. Also depends what you prefer aesthetically I guess.
While there's no doubt the mudguard/fender can support the advertised "distributed" weight in total, the actual "point load" should also be taken into account. While modern double sided tapes are very good, the layer between the adhesive surfaces of the tape, can in time, be prone to deterioration. Using rivets as well as double sided tape ("belt and braces") ensures a uniform load transference. (my $0.02 contribution!

) One can always invent new uses for a 'must have' addition!!! (form before function?
Hi James, can you confirm that there really is a version of "Plastic" plates, as you say? I went to the UK configurator and there is nothing there, not even in Spanish of course. It would be interesting to see what they are like?
Morning Paco,
and at the moment I'm not inclined to take a hand drill to swiss cheese the panels on a brand new £80k vehicle. It might be a contentious statement, but unless you're planning on regularly tap dancing across your bonnet I'd recommend some restraint in this particular area. There are other ways to gain a four foot elevation: Climb a tree or bring a step ladder for instance.
I do agree with you, however, when working out in the field, having a very convenient height table that I'm not worried about scratching would be nice.I've checker plated old Land Rovers in the past because let's face it, it looks cool AF. But that was in my young impressionable days
Then again, if you're the kind of guy who wears steel toe capped boots out to dinner then crack on, you're already a lost cause

I excluded these from my order initially too. However after my first service my ceramic coat was severely scratched from service "blanket"/fender cover. In daylight it's hard to see but in the garage with ceiling lights, it's right in my face and it's bad and I hate knowing it's there haha. Whether I have it buffed now or later it's the exact same process and can be ceramic coated once again... at my expense unfortunately, and it seems it could be a recurring problem until I start servicing it myself. Soo.... Bisongear adhesive panels are on their way to me as my solution/prevention to future scratching Currently 10% discount, so delivered to door was $438 AUD. Just cheaper than originally opting for ineos checker plate.While there's no doubt the mudguard/fender can support the advertised "distributed" weight in total, the actual "point load" should also be taken into account.

I deliberately excluded the 'fender plates' from contention originally. I am having second thoughts of late as I can now 'see' their practicality (function over form!
Do you think something like this would work?
Seguro que si, estuve mirando el que es completamente liso y se veía genial, además lo puedes pintar en gris/negro mate, para evitar esa sensación plástica del brillo, el que realmente me gusta es el que encontró @DaBull, que imita al de aluminio, el problema es que solo se vende en EEUU, y no he encontrado nada similar aquí en Europa.
