Well, you can do that this way:

You have to remove the parts that are sticking out. And sand it all smooth, then you already have it looking lots better. But it is way to far from the body them, so also shorten the plate that fits under the chassis. And drill the three fittingholes on the new places.

When you attach it to the car you will notice that the plate under the chassis will bend, and looks butt-ugly. The solution for that is what you can see on the picture above, make a little plate from aluminum so it will be pushed straight. Don't forget to paint the plate black, otherwise you will see it and really dislike it. When you paint it black you won't see it anymore.

When it is all done it looks like this:

really a useful tip, I usually just remove the stock XC bumper altogether which leaves the body with no protection from my sometimes bad driving :rolleyes:

That is a pretty nice idea. Just like Wyo said I usually remove it completely. This would look really good if painted and weathered too!
