Thats boardering on the tasteful Stew  :icon_winkle:

The only killer will be the shipping etc  :icon_sad:

Can you download any fitting instructions so the design can be replicated by the sophisticated fabricator types in the Birmingham area ?

Cannot get my head around those Iceland fibreglass ones being strong enough...

Yeah fibreglass can be really strong and light, But it ain't as forgiving as steel!!! Mind you it's the only winch bumber you could carry under one arm :icon_biggrin:

What about this  (http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=14&products_id=285)as an option?

I've had mine on the Jeep for around 5 years now and it's still going strong.  :greggmo:

It's not too heavy so shipping isn't too expensive.
