Just done a load of reading on the net - it appears (although if Big Col asks me to sign a bit of paper I'll run away :)) that it is currently a voluntary code by new manufacturers to not fit hard metal bull bars.
Several MP's seem to be trying to push through legislation to make them illegal but they have been doing so for 10 years.
One site puts questions to Inspector Grant Allan – Head of the Traffic department at Livingston Police Station, he might sign a bit of paper :)

Sorry dont know what i did there.quote:Originally posted by Big Col
Just as a quick word of warning to peeps, the BBC and feedback on what they said on BBC2 will not stand up in court. If you smack someone whilst having bullbars on your motor you can't say "Well the BBC said via mini2 that they where legal". Be sure and ask whoever's fitting them to clarify that they're legal. For a bit of fun ask if possible get it in writing. Bet they brick it. :)
Point about the bullbars taken. A bit of bling isnt worth the risk of causing serious injury or worse to a nipper or auld yin. What about spotlights? They must be equally capable of inflicting damage (unnecesary some might argue) in similar circumstances? Hadn't really thought about it till now.:question:
Dear Lord, If you wont make me skinny, please make my friends fat-very Fat.

Seriously though. I'm not saying they're illegal or legal, just be sure and ask the person that's fitting them. MS is a very helpful chap but as he said, don't ask him to sign anything.
Arm rest arrived on Fri from Germany ....only four days from ordering !!
Nipped down to Stirling today to get my armrest. Nice to meet you Ian and thank you very much for sticking your neck out to save us some dosh. The savings are going towards my new mirror finish which will be done next Tues. Cant wait. Now I need to speak very nicely to John since I have a few tiny little jobs for him to do.
