Well bullbars are legal. You just have to make sure your insurance knows about them. Mine cost me an extra £10 a year on my insurance.

I would be very suprised if they said no, as these were/are avaiable as a land rover provided accessory.

As Bob said, you need to tell them about the addition, and they may increase your policy.

The E.U. want to ban them, I believe most new cars have to have plastic/ABS ones fitted.

ISTR all new vehicles have to have the soft type ones if they are fitted as an option but aftermarket fitments can be steel tube type etc
