  • ARB DELUXE BAR ... BLACK OR SILVER CC ??? or GUN METAL

    havin some trouble deciding on the colour of my new arb deluxe bar ??

    90 series white over lght. silver car first thought was to match silver, second thought was gun metal grey, then i seen a very tidy 90 series with black bar which looked pretty impressive also ???

    so was wondering if anyone could post any pics of there bars or your thoughts .... i understand colour is personal but pics. would be great

    I have fitted a colour coded bar.



    glen_ep has a black bar.



    I do like the look of the colour coded bar but the paint does chip easily and depending on what you subject it to, it may need respraying every few years to keep it looking nice.

      That's my rig above ^

      I didn't get the colour coding partually due to the wait time (impatient) and because I'll just end up scratching it anyway.

      1+ year down the track I'm happy with the black. It goes well as long as you have other black parts to create a theme (snorkel, racks, tyres obviously). BUT, mines silver - before you decide, you need to see some examples on white.

          Colour coded is always a cleaner look, but as said above, if your going for a theme, you can get away with the black satin look (thats the colour name for it) if you have other black parts hanging off your rig. It is personal taste, and totally up to you.

            Alovaos i've got the white over silver 90 with a black bullbar. White with black accessories looks good. There is a white 120 on here with all black acc's including the stock wheels powdercoated (or painted) gloss black... looks awesome but i can't remember who it is
            I will paint the stock rims at some stage soon and when the snorkel goes on it will look similar

            As soon as i work out how to load photo's i will post them
