Hi guys,
Just wanting to know if there is anywhere in aus I can buy a hidden winch mount for a 2009 d3, and also if you know if they meet Australian standard.
Thanks.

You just missed a freebie in the markets.
There is also a Land Rover discreet winch mount available,see your dealer then check the price on EBay UK.

Note that it is not so discreet and how it passed ADR is a mystery!

Nah there's one that goes behind the bumper & you fold down or remove the number plate

I think you'll find that one is not from Land Rover.

This is the LR winch kit:

It includes the Warn 9.5XP winch - and costs a bomb!

I bought one of these for my D4:-

AUD $514 delivered

No doubt the D3 version is also available at a similar price.

Looks to be the same one as in the Bearmach catalog posted above.

I've not fitted it yet.

One thing that concerns me is that fitting these required removing the internal metal bumper reinforcement tube.
The Winch bumper replaces this at the front of the vehicle but this does not extend to the area under the headlights (which is protected by the original metal bumper).

Great thanks for your help guys

I have a 2016 model and really want to know has anyone fitted the winch behind the bumper bar. I e hidden from view and only the hook visible? I do not want a bull bar but would like the ability to winch if I (or others) get stuck. Pics would be great and also any issues I should be aware of. I have an ironman winch from my last vehicle to fit.
Thanks
