Question TÜV approved front bumper?

Hello.

I`m a proud owner of a stock auto 2010 Deep Water Blue Rubicon Unlimited Diesel. Not many of those in the U.S. I guess?

Anyway, I`m looking for a front bumper whitch is TÜV certified(German car authorities approval) with integrated winch and stock foglights. To get MOD`s approved by the nazi "car-authorities" here in Norway, we need everything to be TÜV certified, lift kits, fenders, wheels `n rims, bumpers.. the lot. Everything that can alter the ride of a vehicle must be in accordance to standards set by the Germans, even Willys/Jeeps kicked their arses a thousand times in 1944-45...

Thanx. Searching the net, supply looks thin, but I did find something in Italy which really look the part, but not a word about TÜV on their internet page, but then again my italian is more than rusty.

23/35MPG, 30mpg combined

veeeeery easy to pump up the engine HP/torque 30% just by plugging in a laptop. 2hrs work and the MPG drops by 10% afterwards.

You sure that mpg isn't in kilometers per hour? If it is the average would drop down from 30km per gallon to 22 mpg.

I might get all this MPG wrong, but from the English site u can read 30mpg combined, and of course after remapping the engine it doesnt drop but increases the MPG. My BAD (have to switch my way of thinking fuel economy in your mpg system).

In metrics my inboard computer tells me ca 1liter/10kms combined. Urban 1,15l/10km, extraurban my record low is 0,77l/10kms.
