im sure some people will say it looks better as original but each to there own.
 
For god's sake get some black cable ties!!!

That is a nice job and a rare sight in this part of the world, just don't go rear ending some inoffensive little hatch back.

yeah it was 2am when i finished doing it and only had white cable ties, so will change that this week.

it would look good having a nissan micra as a "winch ornament".....! :D:D:D

Very nice. Are the bullbars required for the factory kit? All the ones I've seen fitted seem to have them so I was just wondering...

no not essential, but the tray defo is contoured to the bullbar im sure it can be fitted without it. put it this way. the winch plate has no bolts that connect it to
bullbar

Hi

I've seen a lot of guys put the box for the controls in the engine bay. Then it will be more protected and nobody will see the white cable ties. Only problem is, then you will have to open the bonnet every time you want to use the winch.

Which is a very good safety feature. Coz if the cable breaks, the bonnet will stop it flying back thru the windscreen and killing yu or a passenger.
 
I really, really like that - takes the P38 from a 'soft' looking real offroader to a proper, go-anywhere looking vehicle! Obviously has cost a fair bit of time and effort to do, so what you gonna use it for? And don't say winching!!
