Do you not think , that the approach angle is a little limited. fair play for doing it yourself , but you may end up doing some mods, once you have tested it in the real world.

My winch is mounted to the top of my steering guard, the guard uses 3 fixing points on each side instead of the 2 that the bumper uses, I just welded a flat plate to the top of the guard and the winch is sat as far back as possible. This meant I could fit a non-winch bumper which is a lot closer fitting than one thats designed to accept a winch, I just need to modify it a little to fit my hawse but I need to service the winch before then anyway.
Here's a pic without the front bumper fitted:
nice pic , like that.

Thanks Johnny
It will probably turn into both really as its big enough to stand on, I'm getting back into this welding lark now so they're starting to look prettier and I've worked out what settings I need to use on the welder

I might take it in another couple of inches but the bumper itself actually sits about 7cm further out than the standard one and its just about the same height it just looks a lot taller for some reason

The bumper will make a good step for getting onto the bonnet
