Bumper options...

Should probably have posted this in the Troll bodywork page but figured it might get seen a bit better here!

So thinking about my winch bumper options and as an off the shelf bumper will only really be viable if I win the lottery it seems i have two options:-

1) Get a bumper fabricated. No of at least one scottish member on here who does that sort of thing...

2) Get another bumper modded. Landrover winch bumpers are common as muck and I know a very good agri blacksmith/fabricator who I'm sure could change the mountings for me.

What are folks opinions/ recommendations?

Oh and one more question... I'm gonna have the headlight washer switch going spare and would rather not leave such a fine dashboard switch redundant... what could I use it for instead? (press it with the headlights on and the washer goes on for 5 secs)

I wouldn't bother adapting one, it''l cost the same as making one and probably look it too.
Make one, or get someone to do it for you.
Use the switch for water spray on your intercooler

Cheers for the advice bud, I do like that bumper!

Decided to use the switch for an air horn

(NOT a musical one though!)
