Nightmare.
Please post some pics when you've got it sorted. I'm after a new back bumper myself. I'm considering the Scorpion one. I have'nt seen the Discoparts one.
Good luck!! :D

its a really well made bumper, looks just like the original but all made of 5mm plate. looks very strong but it would have been nice if the mounting holes were in the right place  :cry:

Bought a pair of Jate rings from them on Sunday, needed special tool No.1 to make them fit!
