Grrr that just makes me angry! Thanks LRA, for wanton profiteering from unsuspecting customers!Quote:

Comments?
He also said the lR bar was being crashed tested currently.
Funny...hitting a big red has the same result !! ( noisy and affects the harmonics I mean ) What a load of crap. I would like to see the data on the difference in weight of the LR alloy bar and a steel bar. I would guess about 40-50 kgs difference. If it makes such a difference, what about all the owners out there with steel bullbars, or alloy bullbars with winches. A winch would be more or less equal to the weight difference between an alloy and steel bar, and LR will factory fit them.
Doesn't make any sense. IMO an excuse for something else perhaps.
Agree with Admiral...what a pile of rubbish.
Noisy? If you can hear your bull bar there's something wrong. My roof rack is the thing I hear.
Harmonics? Handling? The 104L aux fuel tank, the rear bar and the second spare (not to mention the rest of the gear) are the things that affect my handling. If you have a roof rack and stick ANYTHING on it you'll affect the handling a lot more than a steel bull bar.
Remember the steel ones are a lot thinner gauge than Al so the weight diff is not as big.
Listen to all of what you get told then make a balanced decision.

Did you notice the fuel consumption increased due to messing with the drag coef and extra weight? It would have done. Whether you were able to notice is quite another matter.

These are recognition lights, much like seen on large aircraft.

This is to distinguish the 4 from the Series units where the only door exit release most often seemed to be on the exterior.

This is for the future engine with dual super chargers.

The brakes have to be big to tame the horses, and the tyres high speed, so that is what you get.
Tidy useless little mud flaps:(
That is a carryover from the 3, sort of a heritage thing.

Better terms are style and utility; bling is when a particular "football' star implements a few mods and then it is at best, a very kind term.
