Winch Bumper for new defender 90
Hi All,

There seem to be quite a large selection of winch bumpers out there.

No - I know the Defender isn't the prettiest car on the block. But something that fits elegantly would be great.

I was thinking of the Scorpion Racing tubular extreme or something similar.

Any views welcome.

I guess there are plenty of other forums offer advice on this subject but I want to support defender2 so i thought I would start the debate here.

I think that if i had my time again i would buy this

i think the full tubular is a bit big now it's on, although it does provide a lot of protection for the winch.

I have the standard land rover bumper on the 07 ,

But have seen a few of these http://www.firstfouroffroad.co.uk/defender_tububular_bumpers.htm which have looked well made

A scrapiron would be the last one i would look at !! Evil or Very Mad California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

I'm curious as to why there seems to be a general dislike for Scorpion Racing.

Can someone tell me why?

The product they sell seems to be pretty good.

Business ethics or lack of. If you pop over to LR4x4 and do a quick search there, all will be revealed. But at the end of the day it's your money and you can spend it where you want to. 110 D250 SE HT

I can only speak from personal experience

Poor customer service, consisting of non return of phone calls, taken weeks to sort wrong/broken parts delivered, when they do turn up,

Last few year has been the poor business ethics of copying other peoples designs and products,
2 examples being the X-eng, X-brake, then the aggro with Staun tyre deflators,, see http://www.staunproducts.com/news_full.php?id=43&news=1

I could go on and find umpteen forum threads about this company, as they say, no smoke without fire Rolling Eyes California F1, 75th 110 "Kermit", 50th Ann V8, 90 V8 Hybrid, 55 Series 1

I have always found them helpful on the phone, ordered a rear recovery point and some bumper corners last week, turned up quickly, well packed and seem quality products. Andy
