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.

they weren't banned as far as I know, they became type approved, since they were already that in spain (ISTR)

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
