Default New lucky8 bumper is on - now what?

Finally arrived on the boat and picked up. I installed the new bumper yesterday (pic attached) but I have two questions for those who have gone before.

1) I had to remove the lower inner wheel well trim. This leaves the back of the washer bottle guts pretty exposed. What is anyone else doing to protect this?

2) In the USVI we have to have front license plates. What is the best location and method of adding a front plate to the lucky 8 bumper? I was thinking of possibly mounting on one of the wings instead of directly in the front?

Relocated washer bottle.

I'd mount license plate on drivers side wing of bumper, makes seeing it easier for officers.

Thanks, Nice relocation - right where my SAI is though, and no, after all the work to clear my SAI codes I'm not removing it.

I just painted the exposed washer bottle black when I installed my Rover Tyme years ago.

There is an aftermarket aluminum washer fluid tank available too.

3m double sided trim tape has been holding my front plate firmly in place for the last year on my LK8 proud rhino

If you plan on installing a winch just get two mag lite clips for the D sized mag lite, drill 4 holes into your fron plate & mount it on the roller fairlead. 8.00 at the most & it just simply pulls off when you use the winch. Washer wise just spray it black for now, if it gets hurt off road replace with the low profile unit.
