Possibly a dumb question. When a bull bar is fitted (I'm thinking either ARB or Ironman depending on $$$), do they also supply new wheel arch flares or is that an extra, and what happens to the front bumper?

Thanks in advance for the wisdom of those who have gone before me!

Most of the bumper is cut off and thrown away.

You have to cut off the last couple of hundred mm of the wheel arch flare as well.

Yeah, FSC has summed up the process. Only differance to that, is on the GLX versions, which don't have flares.................

Be sure you get the fog lights back, they can be fitted to the arb bar see [URL=http://www.newtriton.net/index.php?view=article&item=3&id=]here[/URL]

They tried to stooge me saying the lights had been thrown out with the cut away bumper, but fished them outta the "bin" when i said i was coming in to pick them up.

Thanks guys,

I appreciate the input. I'll take the lights out myself before I let any one else near the car.
