Default help replacing front bumper

I have a 2001 disco 2. I was in a small accident that broke both front corners of the bumper cover from the tire wells to the headlight washer jets. I have found a few different options to replace it with a steal bumper, which is a good alternative, but im not happy with the 'look' it delivers. When looking at the steel bumpers i noticed that they fit discovery 2 from 99-04. I do like the 04 bumper and even the LR3 discovery bumper. Does anyone know if I would be able to use either the '04 or the LR3 bumper with minor modifications on my Disco2? I like the styling with the round fog lights better and if im going to have to replace the bumper anyways I would like to go with something that looks a little better and functions better then the original stock bumper and fog lights. My Discovery was stock with the chrome front push bar and spot lights which i plan to keep as they were not damaged in the accident. I would appreciate any thoughts and knowledge anyone could provide.

I attached a picture of the Steel bumper I was thinking of, but If it wouldnt be too difficult I would much rather go with the LR3 bumper.

You can use the 04 bumpers, probably not the LR3 though.

Also, A few years back I had to go to a junkyard near Glascow, KY that only deals with landrovers. I can not find them again. If anyone knows of the place Im refering to, please let me know the name of the place or a contact number. I would greatly appreciate it.

You definitely could not use an LR3 bumper as the underbody architecture of the LR3 is completely different than a D2. Any bumper, from 99 D2 up to 04 will work on your truck. The only difference between the 99-02 and the 03-04 is the round fog lights in the 03-04.

No issue on putting an '04 on your truck.
Here is the link I think you might have been asking about.

Thanks, Dusty ! Do you or anyone have experience with this bumper? Wondering if I can fit a winch behind it as well ( would need to cut an area open for lead)
