Hi mate. I spoke to them last week and it seems that they are just really busy with a couple of guys on holiday. I have been told that my bumpers will be delivered today. Here is hoping.

[andicog]

Ah that's great news, hope they arrive safe, don't forget the pictures! Hopefully I'll be ordering next week, did you buy the winch as well?

[charvell]

well as promised the guys from world of bumpers delivered on time today. Looks good so far. I have one question with regards to the indicators. it appears that you have to mark and drill the holes for mounting them, what fixings did the others use? and did you guys have any problems fitting the bumper as a whole?

[andicog]

Hi, The one I fitted had holes drilled for indicators although they were too small and obviously not square so wouldn't take the nylon inserts for the indicator screws, I put the insert behind the bracket using it as a nut, not ideal and I must sort it properly.
What's the finish like on yours? Smooth or does it look like fine wet and dry? Sure mine isn't powder coated.

Sorry for the late reply. The finish is really good to be fair. Bit disappointed that i have to start drilling it after its been coated, but needs must. Where did you mount your number plate?

[andicog]

I know, it's not on having to drill or mess around with something that's made to fit. I haven't mounted front plate yet, was thinking of a sticky one across the front of bonnet.

So an update on this. Went to fit the bumper and it does not fit at all, they were told i have a 40mm body lift and the holes are out by about 20mm. My son and his mate also bought a bumper each for their suzuki Jimnys both bumper do not fit, the geometry is way out. Both bumper look different.

The jimny bumpers both come with a seperate section for rad protection, there are no pre drilled holes in these so we have no idea where they fit on the cars I think it is poor show that we have to drill a powder coated unit. Not even sure my drill is man enough to get through the steel.

The powder coating is coming off and is poor.

I have to say i am really disappointed. I have left phone messages bt had no response and have now emailed them.

I will keep you updated.

That's a pretty s**t service you've got there Colin, I can see a pattern emerging with WOB's bumpers, they won't last with reviews like this

Hope you can come to a resolution easily

Just as an update to this my W O B winch bumper now resembles a lump of rusty scrap, as suspected it isn't powder coated and the whole bumper is covered in dark red rust, pure crap.

interesting have you contacted them
