Just be careful as to what model bar you have. It looks like the instructions posted are for the current model bar as it appears to have the changed fog lights and a separate filler panel below the lights. I seem to recall that the earlier model bars used a trimmed down existing bumper bar to fill the gap below the lights.

Each to their own I say. The genuine bar does have some positive aspects to it, (weight being one), if it works for you, go for it!

Cheers,

yea your right it does use the old bumper bar
just trim the top off the old bumper bar
and it more or less sits in a channel behind the new bull bar
thr bull bar i got is off a 2010 model HSE and my d4 is a 2010 HSE
the fitting guide looks to be the same
i will put some photos up when done

He also wanted to fit some decent driving lights to the bull bar, but the two holes provided were too close to the grille to allow a larger size light, so we took some measurements and got a mounting bracket laser cut from 3mm solid stainless steel to match the look of the bar. It mounts to the original holes in the bull bar, although we drilled them out to allow a 10mm bolt to be used. The original size of the two holes was approx 9mm for some strange 'Land Rover reasoning'



The hole pattern in the bracket is to suit the large Light Force brand lights, but others would be able to utilise the same holes I'm sure.



This was a one off bracket, but if there is any interest I can easily have more cut and offer them in the vendors section as a product.

Got to hurt buying those lights from Light Farce for the price they charge when you can import direct for $350...

What's worse is they're nigh on hopeless for distance...

Bracket is nicely done.

Cheers,

Absolutely... Although I doubt I'd be happy I saved 12kg when the front end is crushed by a Roo.

Suited to urban triangle with the occasional adventure outside the metropolitan area.

I just brought a genuine d4 LR bull bar , and I am not sure of the cutting of the old bumper bar I have to do when fitting the genuine bull bar
I was wondering if anyone has any information on this bull bar installation
Please thank you

Hi mate.
Do you recon you could take a couple of photos of the inside of the LR bar and post them up here? I would be interested to see what they look like behind the front facade re strength, mounting points etc.

Cheers,
Chris
