As per title, is it illegal to fit this bull bar? Looks to be a factory fitted one and seen plenty where I live with them on

Those type bars are horrible things. They are cheap powder coated and where the plastic has lifted will be rotten with rust. Another down side of this type is bump them anywhere and the lot bends back damaging rad surround and both wings.
Solid mount bars were made illegal in 2007.

Well dear, only if you paint it up rainbow colours, instead of black so yesterday.
Make sure you upgrade your horn.

Really I quite like the look of them, only because it reminds me if my younger days working on a farm with a 06 td5 defender which had one on
