Thanks for the very good reply Paul. Ok so it does look like I am going to have to go down the bumper change route lol sooooo next question what 1 is the best option? As I already said it's not going to be a out and out off road car it's stil gunna be my every day car?
 
Yeah this Idea I agree drops the winch too far down, and would also fail the streering Guard I would imagen, If you give a shout to Co-Pang-Yang, I think he has mounted a winch in line with the bumper, so is dicreate and the fairlead is through the bumper, I have not looked at the install in depth but will be the way I will look at doing it.

I have the budget one from John Craddocks and I'm very happy with it.

(Mine's obviously the one on the right, with the winch).
 
I like that mate and it looks like u had fun that day hahaha it says not for auto arggggg I wanna get a auto do they do the same for auto aplication
 
The auto has an additional cooler at the front of the car so the winch bumper will need to stick out a bit more. Browse to John Craddocks website, should answer your questions etc.
 
I wanted a subtle winch setup on my 300.

This is a Superwinch EP9 mounted in a guardian bumper. it's so close coupled that the winch is entirley behind the grille and the bumper is closer than the original LR one.
