countryman Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi Im not 100% sure but I think all nuge bars are being banned this year for road use. You might want to check before you buy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choper Posted August 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Did a little digging around & I found this From 25th May, fitting bull-bars to vehicles such as 4x4s is to become illegal. In a move to improve pedestrian and cyclists’ safety on the road, EU law dictates the sale and manufacture of protective metal frames is to stop. Farmers – for whom the idea was originally developed – must now find alternative means of shielding the front of their vehicles from marauding cattle and rogue tree branches. Flexible, energy-absorbent frontal protection systems (FPS) - such as Concept Mouldings Endura - which can be proved to reduce the injury potential of vehicles involved in collisions will continue to remain legal, as will dedicated light shields weighing less than 50g (1.8oz). Existing bull-bars currently fitted to vehicles are not covered by this ruling, which only applies to the sale and fitting of new protective metal frames. So you wont be able to buy & get a 'new' bar fitted, but if its already got one then thats ok, so mine came with it guv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
