ThreeSheds Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Looking for information please... When fitting a front steel bumper to a Discovery 2 - what solutions have you seen, or did you come up with, for the low-hanging washer bottle problem? Cheers!

Blanco Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I left mine where it was, (It's gone a while now or I could post you some pictures), But,..... I modded my bumper by adding folded lazy zed section to the underside, it was about 30/30/30, and designed to accept a removable RRC spoiler (It allowed the different shape to be accommodated, although from memory, the factory tow eyes came off). I did that because I found that motorway performance (not an issue for everyone) was quite badly affected, not only MPG but uplift at the front. I did reckon the main risk was stone damage from the front wheel and to that end I fashioned blinds out of pieces of black plastic chemical barrel. Never had any trouble. I reckon the tidiest solution would be another section of wheel arch liner cut to suit the inside with a flat bottom panel. (I know my liner was short but thinking back it may have been damaged?) All the above refers to the Bearmach winch bumper, which may not be what you have in mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Blanco - I didn't realise it was as little 'droop' as that. I'll probably just leave it where it is then I believe mine is a bearmach one, but was a super cheap noname on Ebay cos of bad paint... Interesting point about the spoiler... I may try to set up something using the Disco bumper/spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Dexon 4x4 used to do a modified one to tuck it further up. I assume they still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - and yes they do, but the only one I see is for the pre-facelift D2, and mine is a '53 model... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reb78 Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Some of the bumpers mean that it isnt that exposed. I just sprayed mine black so it blended in! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanco Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Just on the paint quality, mine was 'genuinely' carp straight from Bearmach, was rusting and peeling badly within the 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
