WINCH BUMPER WHICH ONE
thermidorthelobster:
There are a few similar ones around but all pretty pricey. The only alternative I think is to make your own... or go for a minimalist one like the Winch Solutions one.
mentalmoshio sophs V8i:
what i had inmind was a champion bumper with the middle section from a classic rangie bull bar welded on arb sides made for the light bit on each side and inlet on the bumper for the fog lights
Budgie:
You can now only buy bumpers with bullbars fitted on the second hand market or as old stock. The EU banned the sale of new items back in June (IIRC) and the only new ones for sale now are from stock that was in the country prior to the ban.
ARB have stopped shipping any of their bumpers to the UK or Europe since the introduction of the ban. :(
So if you want one then it's Ebay or ,as you've already said, make it. :wink:

I've questioned this before on another forum and got no answer, All the referanced information I've seen only bans the sale bullbars in this country that do not meet EU specification. I'm not saying metal bumpers are still legal to make, but somebody show me the evidance that they are illegal.
Its like the supposed "fox hunting" ban, there is a lot of chinese wispers going around making out its illegal, whilst the actual letter of the law means it is actually still legal to hunt foxs in this country provided it is not killed by hounds :lol:

I don't think anybody is saying METAL bumpers are illegal to make are they?
Devon 4x4 told me (at one of the shows) that bull bars are no longer legal to manufacture for use here, but they were able to sell the stock they already had. I don't have any factual evidence either way, but I presume they made that decision on something sounder than hearsay.
