    Ah mate you have all the luck with people stealing your photos.. We are currently having an issue with this as well with an ex employee using my photos to claim its there work on gumtree but were going to screw him over but that's another story.

    The bar I saw was a good looking bar also but i do prefer yours that's for sure, pretty poor service by the other two mobs also it pisses me off that we can't name and shame this sort of thing but I also know what competitors are like and the amount of false accusations flying around would be crazy!

    Yeh I know mate, but look in all honesty, the guys in question actually can do some great work, I purchased stuff from them before, and have even sent customers to one of them after all this.

    I guess if you just want what bar work they already make lots of, then its no problem, perhaps because I wanted a one off custom bar, and im "very" fussy when it comes to aesthetics, plus it had to meet legalities etc, etc, it obviously all made it just too much stuffing around, not time or cost effective for them, I know how much time its taken, and id never want to make another one.

    The only thing is, I think they both could have handled the situation a lot better, or not taken the job on at all, as it gave me much stress and greif, but I guess they are fabricators, not psychiatrist's, so I doubt they worry to much about my "feelings"




    Anyway ,I know ive ended up with better than what I would have got from the "pro's", Ive now got the bar back from the powder coaters and she's all fitted, , im very happy with the result, the lights are just awesome now I can see them all working together, the mud flap mounting/release appears to work great as well.




    This shows the parking lights on.....




    When you hit the brakes, the two outer rings (as lit above) get much brighter than shown, as well as the inner circle/s closest to the white shackles light up very bright.

    The other circle is the turning flasher as shown with the hazards (and parkers) on below....






    Ive just got some inner guard covers to finish it all off, to hopefully make it all legal

    Yes mate , and now at least you wont have to wait for me, while I stuff around removing/fitting my plastic bits every time we go off roading

    Be good at GH too, because I can remain more legal looking (rather than having no bar), I say more legal looking as I will still be removing the rear mudflaps.



    For those that don't know, after my quarter chop, my rear bar plastics have been held on "temporarily" (nearly 12 months) with just welding wire and one bolt, as someone who likes to do things right, driving around like this, pained me a lot.

    A wheel carrier crossed my mind, but not only would it ruin the look I was after, it would S#*$ me to tears having to unlock the wheel every time I wanted to get in the back
