Ok. Well why do you think someone is a "cock" for having bullbars?

How many frigging bulls to you see wandering about?
How many creatures are you likely to crash into?

Completely pointless and probably very dangerous to whoever you run into, that's why they are banned from modern vehicles.

But then you could say that paint jobs on vehicles are pointless and dangerous.

Why do people have black/blue or other dark coloured vehicles? Because they like that.
The safest colour is bright yellow. So why isn't everyone driving yellow vehicles!

Taken from the wikipedia.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullbar" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A bullbar (also roo bar or nudge bar in Australia) is a device fitted to the front of a vehicle to protect it and its passengers from damage in a collision with an animal. They vary considerably in size and form, and are usually made of welded steel or aluminium tubing, and, more recently, moulded polycarbonate and polyethylene materials. Due to the number of deaths and injuries caused by the rigid fronts of cars, often with metal bullbars (in 2000 some 2,000 deaths/year and 18,000 serious accidents/year in Europe [1]), the sale of metal bullbars was banned by a European Union Directive.[2]

Studies have shown bull bars to cause an increase in the risk of death and serious injury to pedestrians.[3]

Let's take 12 years report 1999-2010

3,266,854 Road casulities

36,371 deaths

373,985 Serious injuries

2,856,498 light injuries

And the bulk of these where post 2002 when metal bullbars were banned and new cars aren't fitted with them.

Having a westy pop top on your van adds value, as did the wheel carrier. At this rate you'll have no decent bits left and it'll be worth a lot less than what you paid for it.
