Title: front bumper
Post by: andyhubbard on February 07, 2006, 14:46:06

OK guys help me decide what to do-front end of the Disco as it needs sorting so do i fit a heavy duty bumper or go for a winch bumper as  there is only £40 difference between the two. I'm not planning on using a winch but do i fit the bumper and then have the option at a later date to fit if i want? PLEASE HELP.

It would be an expensive mistake to make if you decide later to get a winch  :wink:

But if your sure........  :?:

I have seen those winch bumpers and heavy duty ones and the only advantage I can seeabout the non winch ones is that you get a better approach angle.

Check with your insurers, if you fit a winch bumper you might as well fit a winch as they will assume you're going to anyway.  They don't like the extended sillhouette you see, especially if it's lifted.  If you run into a mini :wink:  the poor driver will have you winch logo in his neck.


BTW I've oredered a removable winch from Dave Bowyer, it will fit on a towball, wherever that towball happens to be :wink:
