|
|
Ok, I have a 5dr Vitara estate so I'm not exactly going to be doing much offroading, but I do like the look of the wider chrome bull bar.
What do you all think? I would have to declare it on the insurance, but just for looks what should I do?
Cheers

Hmmm, If you ain't going off road I wouldn't bother. They don't help your fuel economy and aren't very pedestrian friendly.
If you are going off road I reckon they're virtually essential, many a time I've parted the shrubbery with mine (and opened the odd gate ), I'd hate to think what condition the front of the car would be in without it |

As long as the pedestrians stick to the pavement and don't jump out in front of a moving vehicle, bull bars don't do any harm at all _________________ Suzuki now gone, replaced by Pajero's |

Maybe I won't then.
Used to think the front looked odd without one, but think I like it how it is now.
Think I'll just save the money to pay the increase I have had in my fuel costs. |

Having said that The Suzuki is only used off road, my other two 4x4's are used on road and they both have bull bars _________________ Suzuki now gone, replaced by Pajero's |

Why do you think my vehicles need the extra protection
