SubscriberAll, I received an email from, LRA, with internal communication copied:
Dear Colleagues
We are delighted to announce that the Land Rover Discovery 4 Bull Bar project is progressing well towards release for retail sale.
The final crash testing occurred last week in the UK, and whilst the results of the test data analysis are pending, all signs and initial feedback are positive. As such we anticipate final sign off from the UK Engineering team within several weeks. In order to prepare for production we now need to lock in initial pre-order quantities from
the dealer network. As the manufacture is limited to 42 bars per week, initial orders will be on an allocation basis.There will be two versions of the bar, one with forward park assist fittings and one Without.
Features:
• The bull bar has been designed to integrate into the vehicle styling better than
aftermarket alternatives.
• It has been developed to be fully compatible with Discovery 4 airbag system and
has been fully crash tested.
• Designed to operate with Land Rover factory options like front PDC and Surround
Camera System.
• Constructed of polished aluminium and high quality plastics that are built to original
equipment manufacturer specifications. Winch capability will be available at a later
point.
• The intention however is to have it integrate with the already available accessory
winch installation.
Interesting!!!

Too much bling in polished metal - colour coding would look good though.
"GOOD AFTERNOON GOOD SIR
FOR THE INFO OF YOUR FELLOW CLUB MEMBERS.
PLEASE FIND ATTACHED IMAGES FROM LANDROVER AUSTRALIA OF THE NEW DISCOVERY 4 BULL BAR.
LAND ROVER ARE TAKING ORDER FOR THIS BAR NOW SO ITS RELEASE IS VERY CLOSE.
WHILE PRICING HAS NOT BEEN FINALISED YET, THEY ARE QUOTING BETWEEN $3200 AND $3500 FITTED, THIS IS FET TO BE SET IN CONCRETE BUT IS GIVES US AN IDEA.
THIS BAR COME WITH OR WITHOUT MOUNTS FOR PARKSENSORS AND THE PRICE IS THE SAME.

Hmmm.... it looks a heap sight ugglier than our local offerings from ARB et al.
Wonder if it has any pluses over the aftermarket ones?

SubscriberConfirms what i thought would occur. Very conservative styling, and an outrageous price for it. No thanks. If I was looking at an alloy bar, I think even the ECB looks better that this one, particularly colour coded. ( ECB probably made this one though .....to LR spec . )

Subscriberum, where is the photo of it?

I think it looks heaps better than the ECB bar(its got holes and pieces missing all over it). Polished alloy is a bit much though,colour coded would be the go. Just my opinion though.
Cheers Ken

SubscriberPolished alloy will look fine on white
Why do factory bars, for example Toyota, Nissan, and now it seems Land rover always have exactly the same or worse entry angles and clearance as the bumpers they replace?
At least it looks like it sits in nice and close to the front of the car - maybe at the expense of driving light protection?
Wizard
I have to agree (for me) it dose look better than the ECB bar.Originally Posted by roamer

Its ugly thats for sure... however that said, the first post mentions its air bag compatible with the air bags. Is the ECB and ARB the same?
Also can you get this bull bar coloured?
PS thanks for the pics!
