I am currently in talks with a guy who makes up Zuki winch bumpers and rock crawling bumpers, about making me a one off front and rear bumper for my Fronty. Firstly any suggestions about lay out, im thinking ideas from current designs...
and secondly whats already out ther?as i am finding it hard to get information about current bumprs on the market.
Info such as prices seem to be none existant
Cheers

Not much has been done and certainly nothing commecally for a rear bumper, those that have them have made their owm, though I would quite like a tubular bumper 
You could try Paul McCleary I reckon he would knock one up

Er, a little embarrassing is this, but I hit mine the other day.
I'd been up to the shops in the Sport (on the left) and when I got back, parrallel parked into the space as seen above. Some how, my foot slipped off the clutch and the Sport lurched forward hitting the estate, pushing it back about 8" on the handbrake.
There is no discernible damage to either vehicle.
