What's the parts list and how much would it cost to fit a hidden winch?
Hidden winch mount
Winch
Fairlead - comes with winch?
Winch cable
Anything else needed?
2nd battery perhaps?
Cabling...
Also what are the pro's/con's compared to a non-hidden winch?
Cheers,
Andy

PM discocuzzy if you're after a hidden winch set-up, he's selling his, I think it'll be complete kit so you won't have to buy anything extra
Pros are it's hidden (if that's the look that you want) and you can still use front PDC if fitted, con's are it's harder to see if the cable has spooled on correctly or to get at it quickly if there are any issues The End

Paid over 3000 euros to get a Warn 8000 with Plasma Rope fitted in the bumper, aluminiun fairlead.
Pro's:
- no extra 4" in front
- classy look, compatible with the D3
Con's:
- difficult to turn the "engaged/freespool" lever
- cost (you have to take the bumper down...)
- available sizes/power: there is a limit, large winches do not get in. A second D3 ! This time with all whistles and bells (Auto, 7seats, Diff Lock, RAI, all kinds of protections, winch, Extended range tank, iPod adapter....)
First time twice the same car ! and first time third car of the same brand !
I'm loving it !
