I really like the look and simplicity of this "bull bar/bumper"

Discovery 2 - Tubular Winch Bumper (http://www.mm-4x4.com/discovery-2---tubular-winch-bumper-3177-p.asp)

Has anyone else had any experience with something like this, as I am heading off to the UK in 3 weeks, and want to bring one back on the plane with me

Not legal here... Unless certified SRS compatible...

Otherwise go for it..

Rovacraft sell something similar here in Australia. Competition use only though.

Glad to see this topic, was picking one up in the UK myself:

Land Rover Discovery 200tdi 300tdi V8 Winch Bumper 2 - eBay, Land Rover, Car Parts, Vehicle Parts Accessories. (end time 26-May-10 22:44:31 AEST) (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270569837319&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT)

Thinking I may leave this one alone, as much as I Love the bumper. Simple yet effective.

I fitted that bar to my D2 a while ago. Im happy with it, it looks good i think, the approach angle is awesome, but if i had my choice again i would ve fitted a full bull bar

Rovacraft have these I think. they are from terrafirma I think.

Why would you go for a full bar?

Cheers

Would the UK not have similar legislation regarding airbag safety to Australia - is the bar illegal in the UK?

Might be worth asking the supplier about legality in the UK - perhaps they have compliance there?
