Replacement bumper
I'm looking to replace the stock front bumper on my 2012 110. This is due to a minor bend at one side after the chasis mounts (done before I got the vehicle) and the corrosion inside the bumper. I've noticed various online retailers offering them for approx. £40 but these appear to be mild steel and powdercoat so I suspect good for another 4 years maybe.

I have the Landrover nudge bar on it and like the stock look, not planning on adding a winch or DRLs at this time. I just wondered if anybody could recommend one that was perhaps galvanised and powdercoated to provide a bit better life expectancy.

Hi Keith
Take a look at Devon 4x4, part number D44DNOWS
5mm steel incl double reinforced recovery eyes, very good quality, much better than original Land Rover part.

Has anybody tried fitting the nudge bar on to a Devon bumper?
I came across TP 4x4 who have an electro plated and powder coated bumper that should accept the genuine Landrover nudge bar but not a company I have come across before. Anyone have any experience of the RS Bumper?

Thanks Keith

Hi Keith,

Have a look at First Four. They provide numerous 'heavy duty options' both galvanised and powder coated. Not cheap but cheaper than some. I have had one of their bumpers fitted for a number of years and the finish stands up well to the test of time. A-Bars do fit with them and they do a heavy duty standard looking one too. If you prefer galvanised the D4X4 ones are 'zinc washed' not galvanised but either way their longevity is proven.

If you like the standard look, why not buy a galvanised standard bumper and have it power coated?  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

I don't think you will get a better bumper than the D44 one. Not to flash and very well made!

The red 90 used in the pic on thier website is my defender!! Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

Martin - I hadn't considered that option. I think it's now a choice between that and the firstfour one as I want to keep the nudge bar.

Thanks

I have always bought paddocks galvanised ones £35 or so, and etch primed then satin blacked them. One of them is over 15 years old and perfect still
