popotla Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I want to buy an A-bar for my left-hand drive Landrover Defender Td5 County Station Wagon 110 (year 2005) but first, am slightly confused about the “for vehicle without air-conditioning / with air-conditioning” distinction. My vehicle has air con, but there’s nothing protuding in the area of the grill, nothing to suggest –from the photos I’ve seen of various products- that the “without air con” version of an A-bar wouldn’t fit my vehicle. Thus I’m slightly puzzled. I want the bar for a practical reason: to protect the front of the vehicle, the radiator, in case of impact; I’m not looking for a bar for reasons to do with “style”, in other words. Could anyone recommend any specific model of A-bar? E.g. the one from Simmonites, or Rebel 4x4 etc? I don’t want to spend a lot. Would black nylon-coated probably be OK, rather than stainless steel? (Anyway, I want a black not metallic finish.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Normally, the front grille on an A/C vehicle protrudes a couple of inches in front of the wings. It is certainly noticable when compared with a non A/C vehicle. Can you post a pic of your front end? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popotla Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Sure, but not just now cos it's in being serviced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I've never seen an a/c vehicle without the sticky out front end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicTheOrange90 Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 IMHO this is the sort of thing you need... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...A:IT&ih=020 Soft but firm, just the way I like em... Sadly I wont be able to pay this sort of money for an A bar and lights, but would't have the tubular metal one on a road car unless in the outback !
