How easy was it to fit the front bumper? I'm not exactly mechanically inclined but I want to start learning more and more about my car so I would like to start doing small modifications on my own rather than paying for a garage to fit it.
yup..and I'm sure it will be a tidy sum too. Luckily its pretty easy to negotiate with the sellers on these sorts of sites so I reckon I can get the full price down to ~$420 so I can budget for VAT when it arrives.

It won't be type approved, but I don't know of any Jimny bumpers (or other parts for that matter) that are. That doesn't mean it's illegal, but I believe if you have an accident and it damages someone/something, or for example prevents your airbag from going off and a passenger gets hurt etc. and somebody claims against you, the onus will be on the you to prove it is necessary and that its design wasn't a contributing factor to the damage/injury. The same goes with any non-type approved parts you bolt onto your car, from lift springs to recovery points to arch extensions.

I had mine mounted at a shop and was glad I did. It went on and off 6 or 7 times before everything was lined up correctly. It took about 4 hours. There was another UK member on the forum that also purchased one. He had the same experience.
I started out with nothing & still have most of it left
