This looks pretty nice. Question however, will it fit with the air con front panel/grill we have on current Defenders?

Dont all late model Defenders have aircon, and the subsequent front end to match?

Depending on the country it's sold in. AFN ( http://www.afn.pt/prod_model.php?brand_id=5&model_id=229&submitSearchBox=SEARCH ) the company making these is based in Portugal, the vehicle pictured is a left hand drive so possibly in their market A/C is an option as in the UK. The one pictured definitely doesn't, the grill is basically the same level as the headlight surrounds, not protruding the 50mm or so.

It's not a bad looking bar though.

I'm still in the market for one, nothing really strikes me that I like. I want full protection not just a tube bar and it has to be ADR compliant I'm not going to risk it not being. I'll probably end up with an ARB heavy sucker just for the fact there's not much else.......

Got confirmation from AFN that their bar suits models with and without the protruding a/c grille.

Would that winch rollers? Be consider a protrusion? Will have my new APT bullbar on 12/09 and will post a pic.

Yes,

So to comply with ADR's, we will only supply these bars with Hawse fairleads.

Does it come in black?

Is there a pick-up option, or shipping only?

Can you source them in New Zealand, or ship it I suppose? Thanks.
