western Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 bullbars can still be used on vehicles 'on the road' the change was to stop manufacturers selling new vehicles with Steel bullbars fitted from new, there is nothing to prevent you fitting or using a steel bullbar on a vehicle, manufacturers are only allowed to fit the soft rubber type from new.

LR NUT Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 check this link out on landyzone!!!! http://www.landyzone.co.uk/lz/f9/nice-lr-bull-bar-04-refresh-legal-122480.html Below is my freebie opted for the stainless steel A bar! If their was a genuine wraparound stainless steel one I would have opted for that! Got a rubber type black A Frame behind the A Bar! Looks quite good! Cant beat a metal bar! Got a stainless steel wraparound one on the Disco 2 facelift! My dealer could source me a nylon coated one for the hippo but I was put off by the fact the after a few years the nylon coating splits and water seeps in ruining the finish! http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=79216 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsetfreelander Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I understood that the issue here is that unless you have a real reason for one ie you are a beef farmer or work in a safari park then you might find that your insurance is invalidated by having one and it counts as a vehicle modification (like the stupid one about winter tyres leading to higher premiums). Equally in the case of an accident you are open to being sued by the other party since you have negated the pedestrian friendly/impact absorbtion features designed into your car. I wonder if those false eye lashes you see on some young girls' cars around the headlights are in the same category? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoptimist Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm a farmer with cattle so that's my reason, father says the insurance will cover it as there is one on the disco and the deffender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
