    Looks very good, but in the EU never would get a registration certificate

    They proposed similar laws over here a bit ago, but there was such an outcry from the public that the Pollies put it to bed again. It would have been political suicide to go though with it.

    I'm guessing DIY bull bars will become a thing of the past here at some stage to with the introduction of airbags on everything now ie no more defenders being sold etc...

    Eventually there won't be a car sold to put a DIY job on

    mzs,

    Why could you not get this bar registration certified in the EU?

    Cheers

    I think it is the pedestrian impact laws that outlaw just about anything hanging off the front of a vehicle.

    DIY BAR

    David, just looking at your cad drawings & was wondering if the side support bars from the main hoop might cut directly across the headlights on a Defender.
    They only just clear the top of my headlights on my ARB delux winch bar.
    Regards Chris.

    Ok some progress,

    The first bull bar went to Nugget who personalised it to his requirements, looks awesome if i may say so.

    The first complete prototype is sitting on the garage floor ready for welding in the morning. All the bits from the laser cutter & folder with the hoops, bash plate & winch cradle, I'm just a little excited as this process has taken a long time to get the bar just to fit & comply with RTA.

    Cheers
