I've used Britpart. Some stuff works great, some stuff looks like crap. I cannot imagine how they could screw up a bumper.

I'd buy one of their bumpers for a disco, to replace broken plastic.

I don't like how these fronts and ends take away the side lights. ARB moves it to the front, no its on the side so your side profile is lite.

The front bumper seems to not match the body (IMHO).

The thread here https://landroverforums.com/forum/di...rmoring-71280/ appears to be something worth waiting for! I've been looking for a nice bumper for 6 years and the one the OP is making is definitely turning heads

I've waited a long time to find something. Patience, especially for someone who is going to provide diagrams and drawings for free

Wink

This bumper set on eBay UK for both front and rear bumpers caught my eye... but at £1,000 pounds sterling - UK money ($1,516.00 USD or $1,906.00 CDN) before shipping, it might be too expensive!

Ever consider a Terrafirma for the front? Reasonable price, looks clean and the winch doesn't hang so far out the front like the first post.

I have a discovery 1 and nobody can say for sure whether a d2 bumper fits a d1 I hear YES, NO, IT LOOKS WEIRD! But I dont see any pictures online anywhere..

I would like a TF bumper though, im just looking at cost. I cant dish out $900 for one bumper..
