Title: winch mounts
Post by: Ja1983 on August 13, 2007, 00:44:48

currently "creating" a pew for my winch, been trawling google etc for inspiration, but nothing really tickles the smile box....

i love the "tucked in" look, where the grill is trimmed around the solenoid etc, and this gives some prtection, as well as keeping clear for approach angles etc.

i`m also fond of the tubular bumpers, but non seem to look right..

the 200 tdi isnt the nicest thing to look at from the front, but the last thing i want to do is to fasten something to it that looks like i`ve crashed through a park bench....

pics would be great!

thank you 8)

looks good, but i`m wanting something that gives a bit more protection, even an a-bar (good for fitting lights to aswell!)

whats the effort envolved in going 300tdi on the lights?

do you need to swap the whole front anel, or just lights and grill?

cheers  :wink:

to swap to a 300 front end you need

headlights
indicators
grill
and the bits that go under the indicators/headlights, forgot what their called

ive just fitted a bull bar over my winch bumper, took a lot of work but the results good
