Picture paints a thousand words?

cheers

They had no problem mounting a couple of extra park sensors and changing the grill sizes for me, so I expect that making provision for extra front cameras would be possible as that doesn't chnage the geometry of the bar I expect.
Just call them, Irvin Bullbars, Midvale (Midland) Perth I think sales person who handled this was "Grant" (Knew his stuff about bars), and they have a webpage for sure.
Email is Irvin Bullbars Sales <sales@irvinbullbars.com.au>
I was thinking to askl if they had an Eastern states outfit that they might be prepared to forward a bar to for fitting and save people the trip.

I asked same thing about colour options, but although powder coaters do have a big range of colours, the bar maker has only about 5 choices in colour options.
(I think options were white, gold colour, black, and couple of shades of grey , with hammertone option.)
In my case they went for something that would "fit" with the cars main colour but did not attempt to match it as they reckon pretty well impossible to get right "match".

Powder coating took 10 working days (post Christmas break), but perhaps getting to ask powder coaters what they can offer by colour range might be a possibility.
Perhaps speak with the bar maker about possibilities, or get a spray shop to colour match it after it is fitted

Hi I have just purchased a 2002 Vogue HSE and I am keen explore a bullbar option. You mentioned a Brisbane provider who may be able to supply a bar. Can you please share who it is so I can give them a shout.

If you are certain about putting a bullbar on a early L322, withstanding compliance issues etc; I would be definitely going with either ARB or O/L bar. Looks great, plenty of mounting points for winch, lights, aerials etc
Colour coding is available ex-factory
