After market bumpers do not want LED ones

After market bumpers

Has anyone got any views on what is good and bad?

Rimmers are a third of the price of the genuine article are they any good

End caps likewise but they look a bit plastic

Do you need 4 or 8 clips to fix the caps to the bumper, It looks like 4 but they say 8 !

If you want a standard looking one then Paddocks do a galvanised one for under £50. Paint to suit.

There's also a company that make standard pattern ones in stainless, which is great for rust prevention but a lot more expensive. I think it's Uproar 4x4. Darren

I bought an LED one from dixon fabrications. Looks mint, impressed with teh quality and was about £100 with the cutouts and the LEDs. Without would certainly be less.

ORE 4x4 (Oak Ridge Enginnering) : https://www.ore4x4.co.uk/home have front bumpers, in a black gloss powder coat. They were in beta test, but if interested drop Chris an email, I know they were not the cheapest but ORE's finish, 5 year warranty, British build, and customer service certainly make up for it.

I would have joined the Beta test team, but my current front bumper is very solid, with no corrosion or bubbling at this time. But as a replacement, it will be the ORE one. Zaid-M

I got a Devon 4x4 heavy duty bumper with recovery eyes.

Won't crumple if you accidentally bang your knee against it.

and recovery points are always useful.

Didn't bother putting the end caps on it.
