Hello Guys ,
I think by now its is almost certain that the Uk model will be getting a very different winch bumper to Australia . Not just the fact that it will be plastic vs metal in Australia ( not commenting on the bulbar .) The bit that really annoys me is the plastic cover that needs to be removed in accessing the rope instead of the very cool in my opinion flip up licence plate .
My question is if the winch is in the same position in both variants are the bumpers interchangeable ? Or even the central portion? Having a good look at pictures it looks to me that the fairlead is really recessed into the bumper of the Uk model compared to the Au model .
Beyond aesthetics the way the fairlead is buried in the bumper i am afraid it will limit the angle you can winch ( i know you are not supposed to winch at that steep of an angle but there are times where you can take educated risks) .
Looking forward to your thoughts .
Regards
