Thanks.

If it's a modern one it will chromed plastic for that very reason
Laws on nudge/bull bars changed a few years ago and must break off on impact.
Negates their original purpose but that's European directives for you.

Correct. It is indeed fitted with plastic ends..sturdy but nevertheless plastic, they will snap on impact. Not really much else to say about it to be honest.

Nice job.
Ignore the nea-sayer's, they have little else to do and love the attention their negativity draws.

Selling any of your plates?

Thanks Spud much appreciated. Unfortunately when I sold my last van I forgot to remove the next plate to this one and sold it with the van. Ironic really cos I had the pair for sale for 4 years with no takers.

Well done , you've made it personal to you and I love that amongst all the white vans! Easily spotted in a rally of 100 s of lookie likie vans After a few beers Enjoy your travels

So should the parents. Too much blame is placed on motorists for pedestrians of any age jay walking.


Not necessarily as stainless steel bull bars , side bars are all perfectly legal & carry EU homologation certificates & stickers. Removal of the sticker is the same as removing/having an illegible or no towbar certification plate in all EU states except the UK.


Yes & all Cobra stainless steel bars carry EU certification.

Road safety is everyone's responsibility. Be it vehicle manufacturers, motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.
Anything that comprises the safety of pedestrians, purely for the sake of vanity should, in my opinion be banned.

I think it's brilliant, particularly like the colour scheme
Just don't like the bit on the front

Van looks good, let's have some more pics

I am genuinely sorry for the negativity this has caused. If the moderators feel they want to lock, move or delete it's fine by me.

You shouldn't have to apologise.
You have done a great job and should be proud of your efforts.
Just like knives and guns, the bull bar is an inanimate object. It is down to the user to ensure that it doesn't cause harm. Drive on any road and look at the lorries with towing eyes sticking out especially on tippers to see that there is a potential to cause more harm. Also vehicles with winches fitted are similarly unforgiving.
Driving a little slower will prevent more serious injuries than anything else because no matter how 'pedestrian friendly' vehicles are it's not always the contact with the vehicle that causes the greatest damage but being bounced through the air and hitting the road.
You can't seriously ban everything because it could cause more harm unless the chance of contact with the object is likely to occur.

 

[Sam and Viv]

Well done looks great with or without all the Bull.
Cheers,

Some are softer and rounded to minimalise damage to pedestrians.

Yup, can vouch for that Borr,,,
I got hit by a "child friendly" bumper (it was doing about 40 klicks at the time) when I woz eleven,,, it was made of marshmallow so didn't do me no harm at all,,,
it woz the metal stuff that the marshmallow wos attached to that squished me flat,,, killed me instantly,?!!!

I would agree if first the pedestrians did anything to help themsleves, which they don't . We need to educate them with banning the use of mobiles whilst walking, along with headphones , talking & not concentrating , reading, etc ?
Pedestrians are , & always have been , me included , their own worst enemies.
When I'm illegally crossing the road/taking chances,/on the phone /talking , etc; & the accident happens ,I know whose fault it is .......mine.

Take no notice , the van is excellent. You do not see many 'C's based on the T4/5. I remember the zebra one over on the vw forum but believe he has sold it now.
I only came across one whilst looking on a Spanish site on Sunday.

 

[Kev Dub]

Thanks so much for all the positive remarks. Makes it all worthwhile, here's a couple more pics.

No the graphics I had printed. Original font but different colour and position.

Your right there was a zebra one. Can't remember if it was a Colorado or not but it was a very tidy van.
