Stage One Grille Set – Workshop Fit

Our Stage One Grille isn’t just a part—it’s a time machine. A nod to the golden era of the Stage One V8 Series III, it brings a touch of nostalgia to your Defender with all the rugged edge of today.

Built entirely from nylon-coated stainless steel, this grille isn’t messing around. The 1.5mm frame and bold 8mm square mesh are designed to complement the Defender’s iconic boxy shape, while every weld locks it in tight—no rattling, no compromise. But here’s the twist: it’s flexible enough to mold perfectly to the vehicle’s front panel, nestling into the air con recess like it was born there.

And that nylon coating? It’s next-level tough. Forget powder coating—this finish laughs off salt, solvents, chips, and flaking. You’re not just getting a grille—you’re getting years of unbeatable performance.

This is the ‘workshop fit’ kit, designed for those ready to level up. It comes with the original Series III-style headlight surrounds (gloss black, but ready to be custom painted), plus extra features like mesh horn covers and an air con under-mesh panel. Some work is required—TIG welding, painting, and a bit of love from your local paint shop—but the results? Pure perfection.

The full kit includes the centre mesh grille, lower grille, wing top and side vents, horn covers, and those classic Series III surrounds. Time to take your Defender back in time, with a modern twist.

Only available for air conditioned vehicles.
