And pictures or tips before I take a jig saw to the beloved

Why on earth would you need a better approach angle Vaughan?

You told me your car was set up for sand driving

It was, then the wife spotted a pram she liked, so I had to sell the ARB bull bar in order to afford the pram

Hopefully your wife should be too old for a pram so you should be able to talk her out of it easily enough .

Nothing to it Vaughn. Though, if you don't have a nudge bar it won't really do much as the valance is plastic anyway and you can "massage" it with rocks etc. Trimming the end caps is easy though. If you can hold out till we catch up I can do it for you. I like chopping up other peoples cars.

Thanks Boxer, any chance of doing it before Sunday when I go to Stockton?

And if you can do me a favor and not grin too much as you walk toward my car with a cutting tool, it makes me nervous.

Ok so I stopped procrastinating and got down to it.

The original - in perfect condition I might add





The tools



The strip down




The first cut



Bolted back up





Hopefully the wife will not notice
