    Alternate rear bumper

    Just been out playing offroad in my 7 month old D4 and have bashed and damaged rear right hand side of my bumper. Punched a moon shaped cut in the bumper about the same diameter as a tennis ball, also broke a couple of plastic body mount clips. Did not feel or hear it happening, not happy!!!! Thought it had better clearance than that, lesson learned. Any help full advice on how to prevent further damage. On disco 1 you just removed plastic bumper corner pieces. Thanks all.

    First off - more clearance! LLAMS or GOE rods will help with those approach or departure angles.

    D3 bumpers on ebay for $99, but none for D4
    Kaymar rear bar = $$$$!

    Not that it helps you, I pulled mine off by driving over a branch hidden in grass on my property and only stopped because I thought I should probably should check if there was any damage. Fortunately only all new clips and brackets were required with just a few scrapes on the bumper itself.

    My compressor had failed so had resorted to a tyre pump and only using normal height. Even off-road height would have been better.
