A-Bar installing
Friend of mine has this A-bar lying around in his garage...
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if this is an easy fix...or do I have to cut away things and stuff...?
Like to try it if it is just a small job to install.

only rare in UK as are illeagal to use on our roads. The only approved bar to to be used in the soft A bar. If you have a solid steel bar fitted to a vehicle built on or after 1997 it MUST have a soft protection system.
Minimum to happen if stopped will be a DV9 by the police or VOSA, this means the vehicle will be stopped or seized till item is removed, minimum of 6 points. The MOT will fail also.
One word of caution, if you are DV9'd at the roadside, you vehicle will require a MOT, whether its 3 years old or one week old, consequently effecting resale............................is it worth it, no!!!!
