Has anybody converted from an external to a hidden winch?

So I am thinking about a conversion on the G4 from an external to a hidden winch. I will of course need to keep all the parts and make no irreversible changes so that I can maintain the car's value.

Has anybody done this or has observations, opinions or experience (and/or parts!)

I am particularly interested in what holes I will be left with in the bumper when I remove the front tray.

Having fitted a G4 style winch cradle to my D4, the answer will be very big holes. The best way would be to buy another bumper and get it painted then fit the winch behind that.

Thank you. That's pretty much as I thought, but good to have it confirmed.

So the shopping list will be one bumper, to be painted, and one hidden winch tray.

Does the Warn XP fit underneath do we know?
