Fitting a plastic bullbar

Again I call on the distilled wisdom of BigJimny to help me....

Has anybody fitted (or even removed) a plastic suzuki bull bar?
I got one from a scrapyard (delivered to me I doidn't take it off myself) and I can't work out for the life of me how its meant to be installed. It came with 2 L shaped brackets (see pic) that don't seem to tie up with anything...

Also I'm not sure if the existing centre section (black bit just below the grill in the attached picture) of the front bumper is meant to be removed or if it fits over the top of it....
Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Ive seen some (metal ones aswell) that fit only through number plate holes! Is that likely with yours?

Don't think so, certainly no holes there.and it has been fitted to another car...

Posted this link re side steps last week it does have pdfs with fitting instructions for their own products which might help, I'd guess it should bolt to front chassis rails and the brackets will be to hold it away from bumper - possibly some places to fix behind erxisting number plate?

There is seemingly no mounts.at the front at all. Just 3 bolt holes underneath near the towing eyes...
I'll check out the site. Thanks.

Black plastic piece stays in place. L brackets fit to chassis and protrudes through existing bumper and new bar attaches to the other end. You should have had 3x plastic spacer tubes with it two longer ones and a shorter one. These go in between the new bull bar and the existing bodywork up in under the front of the vehicle three holes at the rear of the bull bar. the short tube goes in the middle. Hope this helps.

Thanks George!
So it sounds like I have to cut the existing bumper then to get the L brackets on? Do they go forward from the chassis through the front of the bumper? (no obvious holes on anything on the bull bar which is confusing me).
I didn't get any spacers but thats easy to fix...

on the black plastic part at the bottom of the bumper you will see it is attached by 3x screws in the center and a 10mm headed bolt at each end these are the two bolts the brackets attach to and protrude forward with the flat at the top. the bull bar should have two holes about 6 x 2 inches long and within these there should be two holes to bolt the other end of the bracket to.

George you are a star!
Thanks!

Are they easy to steal off another jimny? Sorry i have no job or no money and my jimny is standard!

Well I'm glad I don't live near you...

what year is your jimny, that bullbar with the brackets is off a 2005-now jimny, if yours is an older jimny with the older shape bumper it proably wont have thoes brackets as the bumpers are different.

but thoes brackets go onto the chassis and on to the black part of the bumper. should be 3 holes in the middle of the black part one center and 2 either side of it, at like 10-30cm away either side

bolts onto the chassis on the flat protuding part of the bumper.
