i wouldn't be too hasty about grinding part of your chassis off! What if you want to get a winch bumper in the future that relies on those holes? You'll feel like a right cock if you've hacked half of your chassis away!

I would put the old bumper back on.... the way that sits would drive me nuts and make me think of getting the angle grinder out. Seems a few of us think it is not right.

i ground mine off when i fitted a terrafirma tubular winch bumper but only because the bolts supplied have a nut which fastens inside of chasis rail, and i couldn't fit a spanner or my fat fingers on it throug the jacking hole at the front of the chasis rail, does look better though.

Cheers fr al the advice, might mull it over my Brother has the grinder at mo so not gonna get near it till Sunday.
Not a fan of winches so never see myself fitting a a bumper that requires one.......hmmm....
