After Luke very kindly donated me some bull bars I took this afternoon off to fit them,but no joy,can't find where they attach to,do I have to remove the front bumper for them to fit,or am I just missing some brackets,they do line up with the a arm mount but are about 10 inches away,or am I better off welding brackets to the frame rails,some pics so you can see my problem.

Don't worry mate, I just studied the photos a bit better.
you will need brackets, the bars look like they may of been from a long wheel base vitara so wont bolt up to yours, or there from a short wheel base vitara and you got a long wheel base one?

When you look down in the engine bay. Each side of the engine bay you will see "box" section either side of the engine. And also it will be close to the other side of the wings.
