where would one be able to purchase a front bull bar for my t25

ebay is your best bet , usually between £25 and £150

make sure you get the mounting brackets.

if they are plasticoated have a good look at them as they rust!


make sure your van isant lowered as they are extremely heavy and so will effect your braking and fuel economy ! you get a nice front end dip when braking - from experience!


but on a plus side you can pull out at junctions and squeeze into traffic alot more - peeps do tend to wave you through/out more ! lol

I have bull bars on my Syncro, and at first was going to remove them, but having talked to my father in law, he recommended I keep them fitted, as there are a lot of moose in the wild here, and the bull bars should protect us should we ever run into one whilst out and about.

I was under the impression bull bars were illegal in the UK?

cheers guys better keep my eyes peeled on ebay then

Crumbs... you got moose in Norfolk then?

deers

Illegal to put them on a vehicle retrospectively in the UK. (EU directive)

I thought it was illegal for a car manufacturer to put them on new vehicles, but there's nothing to stop someone fitting them to their car once they own it.
Personally, I don't like them. Bull bars are for knocking bulls out of the way! They're called Roo Bars in Australia and the amount of dead kangaroos at the side of the road is astonishing. If you didn't have them, the kangaroos could write off your car. I've never seen a dead bull at the side of British road.
I can imagine that they would do a lot of extra damage to that child that walks out in front of you.

Illegal to put on a vehicle that did not have them from new. Replacement of ones that were on the vehicle from new is permitted though.
I agree that they are dangerous though having seen the result of hitting a roo in Australia I can see the need sometimes.

What do you need these for? If it's just to hang extra lights off , then just have a light bar!

Apart from being illegal, IMO they are a waste of time and money in the UK, plus, as already stated will do much more damage if you should (Heaven forbid) hit a pedestrian, cyclist or biker . Don't do it
