Re: Front Bumper Skid Plate
I believe so as the bumper is the same, i'm sure Gar will post soon and confirm this

Easier to fit that the usual rugged front end. It fits over the existing trim using screws and 3M tape which is all supplied. I painted the number plate trim on mine for a bit more effect.

Great stuff. Gives the front end a stronger look.

Re: Front Bumper Skid Plate
After having the rugged pack on the vitara for over 12mnths, i would in future opt for this skid plate
The larger skid plate i have has matt black inserts and way too many stone chips, i would go as far to say the paint is not up to the job.
I dont tailgate vehicle's and the actual oe bumper has no stone chips at all to back this up
Looks really good Boer

The normal rugged bumper looks like a moustache

Re: Front Bumper Skid Plate
Gar if i was to revert to the short guard do they remove any of the grey grained panels in order to fit the full size skid plate?

They do yeah, you need the bit I painted back and the lower piece that the new plate will cover. So numbers 9 and 10 on the drawing below get removed with your style rugged front end.

Re: Front Bumper Skid Plate
Where are they ordered from? Is it dealer supplied, mine says only the full plate is available?

Re: Front Bumper Skid Plate
The bumpers SZ4/SZ-T/SZ5 are the same so no reason why you cannot fit either the short or the full skid plate.....

Re: Front Bumper Skid Plate
I don't see why there would be any confusion?
The two skid plates are available for pre face-lift Vitaras as genuine accessories (neither are aftermarket)
A rugged pack Vitara is only a regular vitara fitted with a collection of genuine accessories that dealers were initially supplied with as a kit of individual genuine accessories
