I’d go the new generation ARB Summit Bar.
Supposedly the new ARB Summit Bars are not compatible with early D4s, only the facelift onwards.Quote:

They didn’t. But ARB hasn’t retrospectively checked so they say it’s for the ones they have..
Has anyone fit a Bash plate or Front guard such as APT's with the OEM/Factory Alloy Bullbar, or have any idea if it can be made to fit?

Hey Tombie, is this statement fact?Quote:

or if what you said is correct above I assume I can safely buy a post facelift bar and it will still fit my car?
dont want to buy the wrong one
Tombie is no longer here, I don't think there is any difference to late and early apart from front parking sensors and cameras.
The mountings and other areas are essentially the same.
Yes it can be done and looks good. Ben from APT bent a bash plate to fit the OEM Alloy bulllbar for a mate of mine. The bullbar was painted black prior to installation by LR. https://www.aulro.com/mobile-gallery...5335bdc85b.jpgQuote:

Never heard of the OEM LR Front Guard - the one pictured does look different though different cut outs.
Tankmat - Any chance you can you find out more from your mate?
Cheers
