The grille frame (ASJ710040G) is the structural surround that retains the grille slats and positions the front grille assembly correctly on the Defender's bodywork. Constructed in metal, this frame provides the rigidity required to support the grille panel against road vibration and minor impacts. A damaged or corroded frame can cause grille misalignment, rattling, and an insecure fit that leaves the front end vulnerable to further damage. Key Features Metal construction, offering greater durability and resistance to deformation compared to plastic alternatives Specified for non-air-conditioning variants - verify A/C configuration before ordering, as fitment differs Direct OEM replacement for vehicles from VIN XA159807 onwards within the applicable model range Inspect grille slats, surround clips, and bonnet seal for wear when replacing this frame, as these components are often disturbed during removal Vehicle Fitment Fits Land Rover Defender (1986–2006) TD5 without air conditioning, metal body variants from VIN XA159807, and Defender (2007 onwards) non-air-conditioning metal body variants.
