i would expect you would have to cut it then just rub it down smooth then paint it

my defender is basically a french 90 copy.. few things from them so far.. (non engine because of my age/ insurance) trying to bring myself to pay the £250 for a 'twisted' steering guard..

click in the sponsors at the top of the page and then click on Alive, great company to deal with ask for your Defender 2 discount it wont be much but its all worth having, they are at BILLING so probably wont answer the phone till monday DEFENDER 90 TDCI XS,

I hope everyone is well and your land rovers make you happy
