    Yes, in that photo the grill had not been attached and the bumper was too tight. We had to remove the bottom three bolts from the bumper to release the pressure and it fit.

    I bought one of the winch mounts from the first Production run. Would I need to do this to get a good fit on an XK ?

    If it was for a WK you would need to but the other radiator support but that is the only difference. I can get one made if needed, but I would have to check the cost for just that part (it can't be to much by itself).

    I bought XK-version from the pre-order and is mounting it on an XK.
    Do I need a different radiator support or should I be able to mount it now ? Thanks Oyvind

    If you bought the Commander version then it will work on any Commander.

    I'm going over the instructions before my install. From point 17-20 it seems you are assembling the vehicle, but under point 21 in the instructions you install the winch.
    Do you need to remove the hidden winch again at point 21, or can the winch be mounted into the winchmount with the mount on the vehicle ?

    Sorry about the confusion...

    After you test fit and make sure the winch mount is where you need it to be, you need to take it out to install the winch.
