Grill cut ? for genuine defender winch bumper
Bought a genuine defender warn winch assembly, not fitted it yet but the instructions state that the grill needs cutting for aircon models, cant see why winch seems far enough forward, dont want to cut it for the sake of it, help!!!
Has anyone else had same issue.

Anyone tried fitting the bumper end caps from the original bumber onto the genuine wich bumber, can it be done or not designed to be done?

I have the Warn winch and mantec bumper, and soft A bar all from Land Rover and no grill cutting required. BUT I do have a cut grill, (supplied with my winch) let me know if you need.

Mine is a genuine winch bumper with the same winch but not ripped off (sorry bought) from a dealer - but the UK importer.

It doesnt require the grill to be cut, end caps and chequer plate as on the original bumper all fitted with no additional holes drilled! Mike

I had to cut my grill as I had a older Warn winch but cut it neatly and it fits nice and flush into the grill and look "built in"

Looks like they changed the winch at some point then, but left the instructions the same doh!!!
