I think bullbars are like women; the ugly ones do a better job and its better with the lights off![/QUOTE]
Great thread and well done Jasen. I too have agonised for over 2 years re the best looking and practical bar for me.
your photos and cool headedness in the face of the "stick pokers" has won me , I will be booking my bus in this week for a black smart bar.
as I also have an airtec snorkel, I now know exactly what the combination will look like. Thanks again for the infojonc 150 VX Petrol with some touring gear

I've got a GX Jansen, so only the fog lights to slide in. Do the indicators in the bar come standard? How long did it take you, less the wiring? And how did you cut the bumper?

Hi Jas
I'm seriously considering a smartbar for my 150VX - currently have a Brown Davis Bash Plate fitted.
When fitting yours did you notice a) if it will work in with underbody protection, and b) is there compatability with recovery hooks.
Thanks

Trev, I have a Smartbar and a Brown Davis underbody guard and the mounts don't interfere with each other, however I don't have aftermarket recovery points. Just had a look underneath and I don't think recovery points would interfere with the BD guard either. Mine is a diesel so not sure if the BD guard is the same. I am sure BD would be able to tell youWhite 2012 GXL 150 TD Auto. Work in progress. Aiming to spend less than when I kitted out the 120!
