Very very sexy! I was looking at getting some of those rear bumper moulds, currently making (or trying to :unsure:) some fibreglass pannels for the top light clusters to take some Landrover lights too. Think it will be a very good combination.

Might have to look into making a tubular bumper too ;)

I have signed up for the extra wide arches, and I am planning to have a wrap around nudge bar made to fit my standard bumpers. I am hoping that the ends of the bar will blend into the wider arches giving it a more complete look.

My Idea is to have a tubular front built so it bolts to the chassis but sits forward of the original bumper. As I donot wish to mount a winch, I cannot see the benefit of a whacking great lump of steel out infront... so by using a tubular structure, it "should" give a more aesthetically pleasing front end, whilst also giving the protection I am looking for.


Im also thinking about a similar setup for the rear...

Just have to locate a suitable fabricator who can work with me.
