cheers mark and just go for it Cool we are thinking of making these and selling them if anyone is interested please


Rolling with laughter Let me know if you find an alternative means of making the apertures for the lights apart from chewing your way through the bumper with your teeth. Blimey! I reckon your set square was a bit 'squew wiff!' If that's supposed to be straight 'my dick's a kipper!' (Joke by the way!) Well sort of being an engineer. Question Rolling with laughter If you go through life with your head in the sand....all people will see is an ar5e!!

i remember putting in fog lights like that back in the late 1990s. the lights lasted about 12 months with all the salt, mud and crap that collected in the back of the bumper - hope yours are well sealed?
also i put mine in a galvanized bumper as i know the normal ones can rust to Censored if you even mark them. how do you repair the powder coating on your bumper?

i bet it was nice cutting through that galvanized bumper Surprised and i cut the holes then coated them with paint and a bit of waxoil to prevent rusting, fitted the lights in last night, the lights are silled units but i still run a dab of silicone behind them to stop the crap from getting in

WHY?

Yes more rules and regulations out of the EU coming into force.

Now IF the EU could get people to engage brain and operate Mk 1 eyeball when they pick up car keys then it will be of more use then most of the daft regulations they bring out.


Recently on a clear, dry day travelling down a road in a Defender 110 a ferking STUPID driver decided to turn right onto the carriage way I was on. Braking and hoping avoided the ferking idiot. Driver had no chance of seeing me. Front seat passenger had a ferking big dog on their lap so effective completely blind to anything coming from the left!

Brain engaged is darn sight more use then DRL in my opinion.

First Four have been selling heavy-duty 5mm steel blade bumpers incorporating lights for some considerable time. I ordered one without the lights as I didn't need them but the bumpers are very good quality.

Killer if you fancy a bit of practice before 'going into production' I've got my old bumper with endcaps that you can have for £30

Because there is a market for them - he manufactures and supplies many of the aftermarket winch bumpers and protection items sold by the companies we all buy from. John
