Does "widest bit" include the mirrors? Does Land Rover sell is side mounted box thing on the new Defender there? 150mm is like 6" - that's not very deep.
Mirrors are specifically excluded. I've never really understood the box appendage thing on the new Defender.... is it an "answer" seeking a "problem"?

I only plan to attach things to it when offroad or parked.
I can only imaging the wind noise at highway speeds and constantly worrying if I will see my attachments disappearing in the rear view mirror

It’s ugly but a better looking ugly than the big, crappy c/d pillar view blocking square on the side of the 110s.

Build it and they will come.
Lifestyle ads keep the engine of the economy running.
Waiting to spot someone in plus fours loading golf clubs through the skinny door.

That 1st photo really shows how far out that bumper sticks out. Didn’t realize how far it really is.

You seem well informed!
Math mate. For a start I can’t get my clubs to sit lengthways into my 200 with a cage in the back, and the Iggy is at least 20cm shorter, so IF you could get it into the 30cm width of the small door for a start (and I doubt it) then you’d have to open the second door to put them in properly at an angle or widthways.

I’m afraid for anything but relatively small items, getting anything into the back will be a two step, two door process.

Ideally a 40cm door may have been more practical, but with the tyre on the back that was never going to happen.

When I popped down to my local dealer during the Christmas break (as they have a PT02 sat in the show room) I was able to put a cup and saucer on the plastic bumper comfortably (I didn’t want to put it on the flat wing and scratch it).
