Does anyone know if a Front winch bumper from a vitara will fit my Suzuki SJ413 Samurai?

It could be made fit. Rhino ray does some tidy bumpers.

Plate steel is much cheaper though.

Think most bumpers are about £200 to £250.

No better than anything else you can get in the UK.

Personal experience, calmini have no customer service skills. I ordered, paid and waited and waited and waited. Got told it was on its way so waited more. Then it went from being on it's way to being out of stock and i just got a refund.
