They look pretty much the same, the version I have is slightly newer however and has fins on the left side. A quick phone pic below with keys to help guage the size.

I sat it on the front of the car earlier when sizing everything up and didnt notice much of a drop I will however have a measure up and see how much it drops once on there.

Winch is now all fitted in place, I just need to wire it all up once I decide where to mount the control box, there is plenty of space above the winch so I can just use the cable supplied or stick with my original plan and relocating it under the bonnet but having to buy adequate cable to connect it all up. :unsure:

Finished wiring it all up today, I decided to stick the control box on top of the winch for the time being until I get a second battery, split charging system etc, I will move this all to the passenger side of the engine bay then.

I also checked the difference in height at the front wheel arch and the same point on the front bumper and it only dropped by 5-6mm so I am very pleased.
