My D3, LRO and Bumpers

I got my Discovery featured in Land Rover Only magazine this month and a full page too no less. Well please and thanks LRO Very Happy

However, in that article I said i had a Kaymar front bumper on my shopping list but that was before I saw the new Tembo 4x4 bumper that got a mention in the same issue.

Do you agree, what a fine looking piece of metal work. You'll need deep pockets but you've gotta take a look at this. Would be interested to know if anyone is already using it on theirs.

Your D3 caught my eye and I remarked about the A frame to SWMBO and received a "hmmmm" response.

The Tembo bumper caught my eye too tbh...

Had an ARB before and would never get another

Looks to me like the Tembo loses at least 1/3rd of the air slots/ducts on the front of the vehicle?
Without lifitng the bonnet for a look see, isnt the D3 intercooler at the bottom of the rad package?

Here's a comparison. I suspect that by time A-bar, winch, winch cover, spots, steering guard etc have all been added there is already considerable wind deflection away from intercooler anyway??.............though I am far from an expert in that department but Tembo jobby looks much cleaner what with winch and spots being incorporated into the bumper and looks as though they have made it to work with front PDC too which would be a bit of a bonus.



What are your thoughts?

I don't like that front bumper much tbh, stands out too much for me. I like the TP4x4 one they had at the shows last year.
