Bull Bars

Post by nickyboy2013 » Fri Mar 08, 2013 11:21 pm

Anybody thought of having Bull Bars fitted I am only thinking of doing this because German drivers are a Nightmare for shunting cars when they are trying to park I will post some pics  :camera: of their parking habits, some are unbelievable.

I would check the legality of these on your car before considering.

They are a Nightmare over here they think the Bumpers are for Pushing other cars apart when they park, I saw one driver trying to push a 4X4 back to get in the space that was obviously to small, when the five inches of snow go i will go out and take some pictures.

Doesn't really do it for me. Looks way too aftermarket. Which it is, of course, but you get the drift.

Which, in turn, made me think of these things. Now I'm hungry with no prospect of an imminent lunch. Damn you bull bars!
