Not sure if i like this, had an opinion off a few people and the general thought is “looks better”.

Re: My latest common sense failure
Had a zoom in on that bumper pic....looks fine to me matey. Satin black, you can't really go wrong with it.
If you want the bumper a tad straighter lift the back end up with a bottle jack whilst standing on the front of it. Might shift it a few mm.

Re: My latest common sense failure
Its just a fibre glass bumper Alex, zero strength to jack it or stand on it.
I did square the mounts a bit more, also added some big washers to the top bolts. A lot straighter than it was.
Next time I remove it i’ll add a few more washers.
Tomorrows aim is a spare wheel carrier and new number plate mount for the rear.

Re: My latest common sense failure
I said spare wheel mount, had a look at a few options and then realised it would fit here.
Fits inbetween the chassis rails on two cross members, at the moment i have just put a ratchet strap hooked onto the chassis to hold it.
See if it moves / rubs, think it will probably need some locators welding on to prevent movent.

Rust? I don't see any rust, no no, none at all

Re: My latest common sense failure
I know mate. Will look very neat when all done. I reckon a cheap set of alloys are in order...
