(for the books Moriarty you still stand as the most difficult ) Right this is the De-Ranged option to fit hooks onto the front of a 5 door Escudo, what we were looking at is this toy
opps daily driver is gona get alot of work very soon but Weemsy wanted to take it out for a few club runs before the mods start getting serious 
so he needed hooks and not wanting to have to blow them off later when we do the bar work we decided to mount them properly now This is what we had to start with ... sweet F all, oh and to make it more fun the local club rules state hooks must be mounted "up"
The hole is the where the factory mount once sat
the chassi is the lower part coming down to the X member the upper part is a horn to mount the bumper off and the welds between the two arn't that flash These hooks take a massive force when snatched and the last thing you want is anything to snap and go flying very real potential to kill someone so I decided to reinforce the area....
thats 5mm plate and it crosses the horn to the chassi and is welded to between chassi and X member
theres the mount in place 75x100 angle with a 10mm wall
and fully welded down 
Weemsy wanted this one in... this was one of the easyer welds some of the the offhand right at the bottom down near the radiator I was struggling to see And the finished setup
When the new tube bumper goes on it will clear the hooks just
keeping it all legal but in the mean time he needed the original bumper so the plan was to do a little trimming
Before
the inside trimming to fit over the hooks
and the finished look
Right time to head to the shed, and do the rear bumper
alright its a booty piece of bar but those welds are crap and its only welded to a piece of 3mm sheet that in places due to undercut on the welds was only 2mm thick.
