Well The LED Bar is now installed and to say that I'm impressed is an understatement! Very pleased that I went for the 40" bar instead of the 30. Although it would have been easier to fit up to the platform as I had to make up some stronger mounting points for the bar as where the brackets for the LED Bar fitted to the platform it was on a plastic capping. So I fashioned a brace out of some 3mm plate and pop riveted it to the underside of the platform and also used a slightly heavier gauge and longer screws to replace the existing ones. I used 6mm nutserts as arrowed for fitting up the Bar and used some tamper proof Bolts to ensure the grubs cant flog it.
I ran my cabling up the side of the windscreen tucking it into the moulding and securing with dabs of black silicone as originally planned, following the windscreen washer jets hose line route to find its way into the engine bay right next to my fuse box. At the other end I followed the channel along to the front roof rail mount and took the cable inside the housing and feed it into the North/South channel out of site where it pops out the back and then loops back to a waterproof quick connect plug for ease of removal. (photo to come.)
I'll replace these pics with some daylight pics when I get the chance...Bar sits approx 30mm back from the front of the platform as seen in the previous post.
Love the look and the subtlety of the single row light bar.
Flame ON!!!

) Drifta can supply the Autosafe barriers, which seem to be the easiest of the barriers to remove. Not sure how much space I would loose behind the seats with this barrier. I do have the ARB 60l fridge which has a fairly large footprint, so I need to check that out prior to committing. The 2nd option is a Milford Cargo Net, which apparently is being discontinued. The only thing with these are that they are not side curtain compatible which is what the Grande has. I may ignore this fact depending on what the effects would be should a side impact airbag deploy with one of these barriers be installed. Most likely the Autosafe option would be the go however as the net would not restrain a fridge coming through the front in a (heaven forbid and touch wood) heavy impact should it break free from its mounts
