Really like the idea of someone making a winch bumper like that in the UK, good to see a side view

I'll get a side view piccy up soon.

Credit to you. Fine looking thing indeed. I do wonder if the bar obscures the headlight a little given that we need every single lux we can from these old candle driven monsters, but the shape certainly does look modern. What about wiring the indicators into the side lights and using the bumper lights as side lights (DRL styleee) Put orange bulbs in and they'd work well and be seen from the side.

Hey Chris,

Thanks for the comments. The headlights aren't noticeably obscured as the bulb reflects back to the top of the reflecter and the light from there illuminates downwards and vice versa. I looked at using the side lights a s indicators and it is certainly still on the cards. I just need to check the legality of the direction of the the reflector to see if there is a requirement for surface area facing forward. Also, less holes in the bumper = more strength.
