forget the powder coating and just paint it , first time you bump something the water will get under the powder coating

Just had a closer look, no high lift jack points or recovery points?

And what he ^^^ says about painting. Although I'd suggest Rustoleum...

hi-lift jack points are a waste of metal imho have them on my 110 and 90 rock sliders never bothered getting a hi-lift adaptor never needed it

is that made out of steam pipe ?

I was going to put recovery points on my steering guard, because I didn't think the 6mm plate was up to it and the 10mm on the steering guard would hold better.
Plus I wasn't going to make a standard steering guard as I think they act as a bit of a plough when recovered backwards. So it holds all the mud n crap, I was going to make one out of tube instead for easier cleaning.

I'm not sure its what my mate had lying around 80mm X 3mm. He used it to extend some exhausts. But cause it has got some surface rust on he said I could have it.

thinwall - I'd be a bit wary of putting any recovery points on it

Or bumping into anything more substantial than a Ga.. I mean Freelander.

Looks ok mate. not very heavy though.

3mm mate u might have just made it out of tissue paper,

well regardless of what people think of your bumper I think your mr messy mug is great!
