Thread: ARB vs OL bar top hoop distance to bonnet

Another option is have it wrapped....

This one is painted.

You could try using black plasti-dip, which will go on and form a rubber coating which although it sticks very well is very easy to peel off in big sheets when you want to do it. It is a matte finish, but mask off the top, and spray from the base (bonnet side) and it will end up as a gloss finish once you remove the masking tape.

Thanks. Good idea.

Will have a look and see if anyone in Kalgoorlie sells plasti-dip.

I built a mount to lift my antenna up to improve reception and used the ARB mount on the wing for it.

You can still get them, I purchased a tinted one a few days ago.

Thanks for that. Where did you get it if you don't mind me asking.

Your Disco looks great. I love that colour, and yours is the first I've seen in that colour with the colour matched ARB bar on it.

Was the "LAND ROVER" lettering on the bonnet protector when you bought it, or have you added that yourself.
