I had a bull bar from a Range Rover on my Disco a while ago.
The holes where in the same places so it fitted.
I would say yes

IT SHOULDNT NO.
THE RR CLASSIC WILL GO ON A DISCO 200TDI, THE FRONT END IS THE SAME ON BOTH ALTHOUGH THEY LOOK DIFFERENT.
THE 3OOTDI IS 50MM LONGER IN THE NOSE, THATS WHY THE BRACKETS ON A 300TDI WINCHBUMPER ARE 50MM LONGER THAN THOSE OF THE 200TDI.
YOU COULD PROBABLY BUTCHER IT UP TO FIT BUT I THINK THE LIGHTS AND EVERYTHING WILL BE IN THE WAY.

there must have been a big gap between the bumper and bodywork when it was on your 200?

The Discovery 2 (Td5 model's) are different to the 200 and 300 versions
The 200 and 300 are the same car.
The series 1.

they must somehow be different to a tubular a they wont mix.
how thick is the steel on that bumper of yours, ive drawn one up but dont know how thick to go, was thinking 6mm so was indistructable but it will weigh a ton.
cheers

I dont understand where you've got the measurement from?
as you can see from this picture the bumper does'nt stick out at all

When i brought it from Scorpion they stated that it was the same as the 300.
They only make 1 bumper for both cars

I had a RRC one on a 200 disco and all discos are 60mm longer from rad to grill than RRC. I measured lots befor making Disco one. RRC one will fit disco but will sit closer and may even touch grill if A bar fitted. Quite easy to mod if you are handy sort of person. :wink:
