   could you make it flush by just pulling the sides in?

    What can you do about the front towing eye if you fit a vt bumper?
    
    Surely it would be in the way, as its different to vtrs?

    That wont work as the brackets will hold it out, you need to chop the original brackets in half and then create a new bracket to attach it.
    
    If you bodge it, it'll look awful but if you spend some decent time over it like I did on mine then it will look great.
