That's half the fun 
Just make the cut...the first cut is always the hardest.

ad15, once perfected fitting yours, and I've finally gotten round to buying a winch, tray etc, you could fit mine to keep your 'hand in'

ok, need a bit of help again chaps,,, am cutting the bumper up,,, on the top main section to cut there is a diagonal between the 610mm cut and the 730mm cut,,but there is no measurement shown as to where the diagonal starts,,,
could anyone with external mount nip outside and measure how far up the outer cut before it goes diagonal please?

Just do it so it looks about right, that's what I did anyway 
Err on the the side of caution then you can always trim a bit more off if necessary, the edge trim will cover any mistakes
No point in me measuring mine as I fitted a bigger winch so had to cut a lot more away than 'standard' The End
