I don't know where to get one from since mine came with my first winch.

Cheers & it's ok, I live with someone else's wife anyway! hehe. You may or may not notice I did away with the number plate surround to make the winch plate fit without that pushing it up - or you can trim the top off number plate surround. But I just stuck the number plate directly onto the bumper.

Post by: georgen on June 18, 2014, 06:22:20 PM: LOL. Cheers I already had it in my mind I was going to loose the surround, now got to make my mind up to put central without mount or off to one side :017:
