    Why ever not? The bar just has to be rated SRS compatible to be road legal and also to satisfy the insurance companies in the event of an accident.

    That's the problem. This model RR was only out for 1 year & there is not an approved aftermarket bullbar for it.

    I've only ever seen the genuine nudgebar fitted to this model.

    But there was a genuine factory bar available.

    Just bolr it on, no mods necessary, the disco bar sticks out a little more, but looks ok and the only real option for your job

    That's only a nudge bar (made from exhaust pipe).

    You can fit an ARB bullbar to your soft dash Rangie. Its very simple.
    Find a newer bar, they curve around the front wings.
    Carefully cut out the mountings leaving a small amount to bolt onto.
    Go to your friendly ARB dealer and order two Disco 1 bullbar compression canisters. You will have to make them a little shorter to fit into the bar. I have been assured that this will meet any legal requirements. If you wish to go ahead send me a note and I will explain in detail
