Default Aftermarket Bumper and splash guards

So I am putting the Terrafirma front bumper on the front of the Disco II.

Since the OEM bumper comes further down and is wider where it comes close to the front wheel, there is of course no place to attach the bottom portion of the wheel well/splash guard.

Didn't think that thru when excited about a new bumper.

What have many of you done or recommend to put the splash guard in, but cut it and attach to something to keep it from flopping around?

If you could supply a pic of ideas that would be great.

I just run without one, hasn't caused me any problems yet, even with the OEM fog lights that I have a set of ****ty HIDs in.

I cut mine even with the bottom of my ARB. The ARB has a hole on the back edge of the bumper on each side to fasten the splash guard in place. Not quite as secure as the original setup but seems to be sufficient.

what i was thinking! I don't think my Terrafirma is as wide at the sides as the ARB, so I will probably have to taper it a bit.

I was hoping you guys knew of some magical after market part sprinkled with pixie dust that would work!

I don't think you need it.....my RTE bumper does not have one and it has been no issue. But I do have the large RTE skid plate so maybe this blocks most of the water anyway..

I just looked at my TF bumper and it looks like the splash guard separates right at the bottom of the fender, you can separate the splash guard there.

Cool, I'll check it out when I get back home. Thanks.
