Went to fetch my extension bracket for the small rear door last weekend from Driko,
My understadnding is that he is stil finetuning the design of our bumper.
In particular making sure the exit clearance on the sides is maximised.
He can also hacve it cut for us very affordably.

Hi All,
Also interested in a decent rear bumper. Peter, yours looks cool, where did you get it? How do the swing brackets open / close?
Any further development on designing one?
Thanks
