Looks like there were a few done around my area (Rotherham, S Yorks) last night. Might be worth keeping an eye out.

HW, one of my responses when people ask for discount is
"YES I will give you 40% off but I will double the price first!"
It is quite amusing watching some peoples faces after that comment!
The other comment I make is what would you tell your boss if he said he was going to discount your wages this week. Typical response is on the lines of Foxtrot Oscar!

PS I have nothing to do with the manufacture of these headlight guards but wish Ryan well. Support the small businesses if you want them to succeed.

just fitted a set of the Terra Firma brackets to my D4 (very similar to those in this thread)
Took a little head scratching as to what the O ring is for on the long Torx Head M8 screws and where it should go in relation to the 2 large washers.
I can only summise having looked at it all, that the O ring is only there to stop the large washer dropping off of the screw, unless anyone knows different?2014 D4 HSE Facelift Corris Grey

Didn't know anyone else did them! The Terrafirma ones look like they cover the whole of the semi cicular release. That is good idea.
I put the o ring under the large washer under the securing brackets (as per fitting advice from earlier). That's where it was when I took the screws out. I'm wondering whether it provides a 'cushion' between the metal of the washer and the body panel.
What are these screws for anyway if you don't use them for these brackets.
CheersGary

Just ordered a set from W1LD R (I assume) via the Fleabay link! Fingers crossed the lights will still be in place when the bits arrive!

regarding the O rings, yes I put them in the same place, but they don't provide a cushion as you suggested, as the hole is much larger than 8mm and the thread is quite far down inside (hard to describe, easier if you see it) - I think they are maybe just to retain the larger washer on the bolt when removing (although they didnt when I dismantled mine). Don't think they are important anyway - unless anyone knows different?
I didn't know there were different types either, I found this thread while looking for advice on fitting mine, I like the look of the TF ones though.

Mine arrived a few days ago and fitted today. Gary_P, it took me a little while to work out what the slot in the MkII version was for, but looking at the eBay listing, it’s used to lift the light securing levers, rather than slicing your fingers to bits or having to use a lever to lift them. Of course, if the scumbags manage to get the brackets off, they won’t bleed to death either (unfortunately)!

Yes, still available, either give W1LD R a PM, or you can buy them from him via eBay
Ordered !
Green Land Rover, Did you ever source some security screws of the right size?
Cheers
I would have also liked security screws but the length of the bolt means that they would not be very 'off the shelf' and would maybe be a special (expensive) order. Dribbled some glue into my heads to slow them down......
