The bumper you choose will define the look of your Defender and probably what other accessories you buy from here onwards...
There are so many places to find a winch bumper and everyone will have their favourites. There is also a big difference in cost. The questions are; Do you want it to look subtle or aggressive? Do you want tubular or flat plate like standard? Do you want an integral bull bar or not? What is you budget (you do not have to answer this, just worth bringing up)? Personally, I have had tubular and standard looking. At the moment I like the standard look; Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge |

for the M8000 you can just use the standard bumper and buy the M8000 kit (which comes with the discreet mounting plate from Land Rover. It's actually pretty cheap from Land Rover dealers, about £1300 for the complete kit inc the Winch, mounting hardware and electric cutout kit. Being a Land Rover accessory it's all type approved too.
Here's my install of the RTC8965 kit. http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic54033.html?highlight=rtc8965 |

That's a Belgian flag, and the Land Rover has Belgian plates.  |

Oops apologies. Must admit I just looked where Vogue was on the map and the Landrover symbol was parked right on the Belgium/Germany border.
Belgium and Germany share the same currency so no exchange costs and the chances are that carriage cost on mainland Europe is cheaper then UK to Europe. Did not mean to start WW3 over Brexit! Brendan |

I would look at Devon 4x4 and First Four, in that order.
Just suggestions, but that is what I would do.  No Guts, No Glory.
