KBX grill and Led Bar

Hi guys
I am planning to buy a KBX grill for my land rover defender TD4.
But I just want to know how i can mount my Led bar onto it? I don't want to cut in the grill because it was prety expensive.
this is how i mounted it now

How do you guys fit your led bar?

You'll probably have to fabricate a bracket of of some C-Section steel or ally. The back of the section could be behind the grill, attachesd to metalwork under the bonnet. The from of the C section would be the only bit in front of the grille, with the lightbar brackets srcewed to it. Cut away any excess metal to make it a bit less cumbersome and you're sorted. ight be a bit fiddly to fit, but c'est la vie...

Failing that, mount from the top of the bonnet, like the Soft A-bar top mount does. pretty much screws onto the flat where the bonnet pin engages.

Or mount from the bottom, from your chassis leg(s)

easy job....

even if you have to cut a bit more of the A bar back you can make a really neat job of it.
