This is more what I was thinking

Ok, well I got to admit that looks nice!! Something tells me its going to be expensive though.. any idea who sells these in the UK?

no reason not to fit the washers - tiz only a couple of holes - innit?

True, True.. Only reason I was avoiding the idea of drilling of holes is that the brit part sales man advised me not to due to the bumpers being powder coated and any modifications/ cracks in the paint would mean it would cause rust to form rapidly.. that his words not mine, I know you can paint over things.

No idea, I'm getting the local guy to build me one from 6mm plate so it'll be better built than a mass produce ARB and made how I want it. Ebay is the best bet though, saw one go for £250 in as new cond

Found it, looks the same bumper minus the A bar. ARB Winch Bumper for Discovery 2 2002 on

£1,134.29 (inc vat)

Wouldn't buy new, or ARB, I'd go to the local metalworkers and ask them to build something to the same spec (will cost a lot less)

Not that its a landy but someone at the local just got a full ARB spec bullbar/winch bumper for about £500, that was built from 6mm steel, proper tubing with 4mm walls and all done in 3 days to spec

This was for an L200 which is far curvier so more effort was needed, a landy should cost less as it'll be a few less man hours

More so with arb think your paying for the brand as much as the kit

Just buy an ARB sticker off egay after and sell it with a £300 markup
