Disco 2 Bull Bars

Jamiegreen · Oct 22, 2018

Was browsing and saw these bull bars on gumtree, and have only ever seen them fitted to a non facelift disco, will they fit an 03 facelift? Don't know if the bumper is different or if they just go up and under onto the chassis. any pics appreciated!

I'll just cut all that crap off the bottom and weld them onto a two lumps of 5mm plate to go on top of my winch bumper, I like the light guards and think they'd look good on my D1

Sh*t.. well I'll definitely have to buy them tomorrow now and find out myself.. I'll sell them to you if they don't fit.. if I get there first haha

He did find them after all, only fair that he gets time to decide, I wouldn't want anyone to call me a thief for snatching them on the sly

I'd also like to think someone else would be equally accommodating to me too

Right, little update. Bought em of course, they do in fact fit a d2 facelift.. kinda.
Basically, I found 2 problems, they rub the bumper in 2 places and the biggest problems.. the facelift headlights can't be removed to change bulbs with them fitted. I've come up with a solution though. I am going to cut the welds off where the mounting brackets join the tubing, and use 2 big bolts through each one instead. This way, to remove the bars it will simply be removing 4 easy to access bolts.. cause those chassis bolts sure are awkward. I will also offset the bars 10mm or so so it doesn't rub the bumper. Pics to follow if it didn't make sense
