They make life harder to do work on the front of the motor. Unless you can get the 1 that folds down to use like a seat( or carry a dead deer on it)
If you have a bump they could twist chassis & do more damage to the wings
why not get some nice masi light covers,they do some nice side repeater ones as well.
how’s your build coming along?

Probably unlikely as the old style rigid bull bars were made illegal in the UK from 2007 and I suspect there just isn't the market to make it worthwhile someone coming up with a compliant design and having to put it through approval.
Bull bars - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
General requirements
It is not illegal for vehicles to be fitted with bull bars, although the department would not recommend their fitment unless it has been shown, through compliance with specified safety standards, that they do not pose an additional risk of injury to pedestrians or other vulnerable road users.
There are no plans for legislation to require bull bars that are already fitted to be removed. However, since 25 May 2007, it has been an offence for bull bars that have not been approved as compliant with those safety standards to be sold. Approved devices will carry an indelible ‘e’ mark (for example: e1 01 1471).

Horrible things, for the reasons stated.
I've bought two RRC's in the past with these things fitted by their previous owners ... I couldn't wait to get the spanners out.
One was sold, the other cut up for scrap.

A pal of mine used to have some on his old 110, he was a deer stalker and used the fold down option.
It's a bit of a late reply, but I've just made my own bull bars & can copy the Camel Trophy bars no problem.

You could make some out of swimming pool noodles and superglue.
