im looking to do something with my rear bumper as its abit taty and the end caps are all broke. what have you lot done about a rear bumper?

i was looking on the net and a HD bumper its a lot of money!! what mods have you done to the stock bumper or have you made something cool yourself?

im thinking of replacing my door cards with chuker plate has any one done this and have pictures?

 well on mine i got rid of the whole cross member and replaced it with 3" box section ? but dnt know how much work it would be on a normal size disco heres a pic ?

I wouldn't personally replace the door cards with chequerplate, as it will make the inside of the vehicle noisier and colder. If your door cards are tatty then you should be able to get a set of decent replacements on ebay easily enough, there are loads of Discos being dismantled.

I've had the same debate regarding bumpers. I like the tubular ones Guardian make for Range Rovers but due to the different shape of the back of a Disco they'd look daft IMO. The only one I can find is the Paddock HD example but it's a tad eye-watering in terms of price. I suspect it may be one of those "start saving now and it'll be worth it" items.

just after putting the post up i went out and looked at the rear bumper for abit then i ripped the 2 end caps off and cut it up abit to see if it would look any better i don't think it looks too bad but needs a few bits of box section adding. i will get some pictures some time when im at home and its light out.

can any one recommend a paint that i can paint onto mettle, with just a bit of wire brushing be for?

On mine- before the injury and it being passes on, was just going to loose the rear bumper, cut the rear quarters at the same height and put box across the back, and round the edges to the arches, Job done!!!
