Need some help sourcing accessories in the UK

[Pilotman]

Hello, I am new here. Just picked up my first Land Cruiser - a 2010 V8 Diesel, in the UK. Absolutely love the car in the first week that I have had it. The car will be going with me to next year and I needed a few accessories that I am finding hard to get hold off in the UK, specifically in and around NW London. Any help sourcing these things, or advice on best places to buy from would be much appreciated;

1. A replacement front bumper that doesnt need cutting - I have heard good things about TJM ones but cannot find a distributor in the UK.

2. Smaller wheels and tyres - The standard ones here are 20inch which are not very good for Africa - I was after some 17 or 18 inchers with associated tyres

3. Bug guard at the front of the bonnet

4. Snorkel

5. Wind Deflectors x4

Will keep an eye on ebay too but cannot really see much at the moment.

thanks in advance!

From quick searching online I can't find a distributor for tjm in the UK, you could import one from a nearby country (France/Switzerland)
1.)http://www.tjm.com.au/en/store_locator
If you really want TJM find whoever is closest and import from them or get an ARB.

2.) Wheels are 5x150 bolt pattern you have a choice of aftermarket or oem in 17" alloy & steel. These you should easily be able to find.

3.) Auto accessory shops should have them or order online http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/360434750645?fits=Car Make:Toyota

4.) http://www.arbil.co.uk/4x4/ search for ARB vendors and or safari snorkel vendors in your area.

5.) http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/140961355071?fits=Car Make:Toyota|Model:Land Cruiser

I think best for you would be to find an off road 4x4 shop and / or meet some 4x4 groups that go greenlaning and get advice from them on the best vendors/products to use. That should let you know what's available locally and tried and tested.

SOrry to be a pain - but I am desperately looking for 17 inch wheels (alloy, not steel) in the UK. Can anyone recommend any shops or online retailers for the UK that I can use?
