Default New Bumpers! What do you guys think?

Well I got hit by a college kid who was showing off to his friends and now I get to order new bumpers!

What do you guys think of these?
BA175 Discovery Intergral Winch Mount Bumper Black No Drilling. Suitable for The Following Winches: Warn 6000 Or 8000 M and Mx Series XD9000 Superwinch X6 and X9 As Well As T Max Range. Not Suitable for Huskey Winches.

and

DA5647 - One Piece Heavy - Duty Rear Bumper 5mm Steel Discovery 200/300TDI with Welded Recovery Eyes

Best part is that it is $830USD shipped to me from LRDIRECT

Good buy for the buck, yeah?

Love the rear bumper, but t he front bumper isn't my cup of tea.

Price seems good!

If you like them and they work for you, go for it! Good to have feedback on the aftermarket parts.

You have another bumper idea? I havent purchased them yet, trying to get feedback. I just cant spend $800+ on a front bumper from the US. Its ridiculous!

How much are they individually? The front seems like it stick out a huge amount, but they took a picture from the worst angle possible.

One of those bumpers I think has a bearmach part number and the other is certainly britpart, both of which have suppliers in the US... maybe you could save a little on shipping if you could find one in stock somewhere.

I've bought stuff from the UK before, but nothing bigger than a spare tire carrier.

wait, are you getting BOTH for $800 shipped? If so, never mind, that's a pretty screaming good deal.

The rear is Britpart .......GOOD LUCK! I wouldn't trust that quality on a riding lawnmower.


You might try DAP, I know they carry Bearmach bits. http://www.dap-inc.com/

Yeah both for around $800 shipped

Whats wrong with BritPart? Anything has got to be better than a stock rear bumper.

DAP INC doesnt have anything other than stock.

Metal is metal. I'm sure it's made in the same factory as some other more expensive brand.
