Thread: Bull bar for DS

I don't know about purpose-built bars yet for the Disco Sport but the D4/RRS idea won't work for you. The RRS that can have a D4 bar fitted is the older L320 model that shared the same platform (known as T5) as the D3/D4. So the front ends are quite similar in that case.

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has managed to fit a bull bar to the DS yet?

Cheers

I recently read an article by the ARB Marketing Manager in ARB's online magazine. He was told by his Managing Director Andy Brown that ARB would not be building a bullbar for the Discovery 5 any time soon (not commercially viable). So I think the chances of one being developed for the Discovery Sport are virtually zero.

Talking to a manufacture of protection items he indicated there is no real option available to bolt a bull bar onto the all new discovery. Be disappointing if this is the case.

Just reigniting an old thread, I queried ECB (who are manufacturing Discovery 5 bullbars/ nudgebars) about if they manufacture or have in development an ADR compliant nudge bar to suit the Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Their response was:

"Here at ECB we current do not have the Discovery Sport in our Development program. The Discovery Sport shows sales of 857 sold in Australia during the month of March, with this total od sales being too low to allow us to achieve a quick ROI on any development currently. I will if your comfortable put your name & contact details in our new product request spreadsheet which will allow our team to accumulate requests for the application and then justify the development of product if the demand is high enough."


it would be great if everyone who is interested could contact them at Contact ECB to express interest and hopefully we can get them over the line to commit to a bar for the Discovery Sport.

Cheers,

Brad
