Interesting. I had no such fitting issues with the Asfir sump guard on my 2013 LR4, it was a bit of a pain but all bolt holes in both large bottom and smaller front skid guards lined up just fine with those on the chassis, after removing the thin factory plates. Also, no plastic cutting was required on the front bumper. Obviously the tow ring cover needs to be permanently removed prior to installation, and I also got rid of the two useless, small "spoilers" in front of the wheels - although the Asfir plate has got cutouts for them if you want to keep them IIRC. When I was done, the front edge of the guard was perhaps a 1/4" away from the bumper - there is a strip of insulation foam pre-applied by Asfir on that edge for such a reason.
