New bumper - Cranked or straight
New bumper time!
Had enough of stripping and painting mine!

Probably going with the ORE one it looks a pretty good piece of kit and I know the coatings are good as my wheel carrier is still like new, plus the service is spot on.

So the decision left is do I go cranked or straight?

Straight for me.

Have you thought of having the Original Powder coated? or is it too far gone?

There was a recent post on the galvanized britpart one. Was highly rated by all. Have one, but not fitted yet. Only complaint I have is there are some areas with very thick galvanizing.
So by recommendation, straight. Have also 50/50 percent chance that if you bend it slightly, it goes under the mudguard and not damage the mudguard. 1988 90 Hard Top, 19J Diesel Turbo, Shire Blue - Restoration ongoing

Definitely straight unless you're planning some sort of winch challenge.

I'd strongly recommend the galvanised ones from Paddocks. Yes, it'd need painting but they are ridiculously cheap and long lasting. Darren

I have the HD version from Devon 4x4. They have put the price up to a ridiculous level though

I'd agree with the ORE option - enginering, coating and customer service from Chris is top notch. Thumbs Up Zaid-M
