2 options.... either get a new winch or bumper (most likely bumper)..... or start hacking
Remember- the further forward the winch sits the worse the approach angle becomes. Glyn   |

Looks tight on that one too. Could you elongate the holes in the bumper to mount it slightly futher out, away from the grille? 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

that bumper sticks out a fair bit and still looks close dont it
 mark the kbx grill correctly and take your time cutting to get a nice tight fit on the winch bit like what mcma1 done on his svx grill  CSK Automotive

Yer, it's been sat here awaiting fitting for the last month, the trip has been a gentle push!
Think I've sorted the grill prob! Still getting messed around with regards the Mach 5 painting. Think I'm gonna have them done antherite (grey, don't know the correct colour) so hopefully they'll be done, then I'll go for a carbon colour on the next tyre change  its only a car! |

The twisted photo looks like an air-con winch bumper, do you have this too?

Mine was realy tight too
I didn't want to cut grill either so it's very slightly bent back but it did go in It's good to be back from the dark side

Battery terminals sorted, all done!
It came with a cover, but I doubt it'll get used. IMO looks abit naff (apologies to anyone using one 
It's slowly coming together  its only a car! |
