Discovery winch bumper?
Yoshi:
Well tis not as easy as it looks to fit!!!
Its being a right PITA!!!!
Me old bumper came off fine, but can i get the new one on, no! Its catching somewhere, i think its cos i have the XS model which has the wheel arch extentions, or not!
But i will find a way, even if i have to start chopping the wing!
Disco Matt:
I would have a look at the little metal strips that attach the front of the wings to the sides of the original bumper - it may be catching there? Wouldn't have thought that the mouldings will make any difference as they don't go beyond the lower edge of the wing. Do post your findings, as it'll save me getting the sledgehammer out!
Just been checking that the bolts will turn on mine, it will be fitted at the weekend sometime when I finish gathering the various fiddly bits like sticky pads for the numberplate and some M10 repair washers (nice big washers to spread the load).
I have managed to figure out why my steering guard is no longer straight, and why my original bumper doesn't sit level anyway. Neither is due to a bent chassis or body, the former has one bent sideplate and the latter would be fine if I undid the bolts and pushed it up at one side. Both easily fixed, thankfully!
Yoshi:
Its on!
Its a cut out the grill type bumper!
had to remove both indicators and the lower panels to make it fit :D
but it is on now :D
Pics to follow :D (after me doctors appt, am covered in it, and it works too cos i had to put the wire back on :D lol, my advice, put the hook on before, and also have come circlip pliers handy to remove one of the rotating tubes on the rollers
Yoshi:
Some pics of it being fitted!
Frontal view - As you can see, the indicators and the bits of trim need to come out to fit this in easily (or at least it did for me!)
Close up of indicator area.
This is the bit that the grill sits into at the bottom, these were bent out the way in order to fit the bumper in.
Quick view of the other side!
The plastic bit thats covering the winch tray had to come out, otherwise winch wouldnt fit in!
The semi finished product! Just have to refit the grill after i have cut it to fit :D
Yoshi:
Forgot to add "fit the rollers thingumy" to the things left to do! lol
