Legality of my car!!
glaggs:
Its illegal to sell one for road use! They can be sold for 'off road' use. The grey area comes when its illegal to sell them but not to fit them?
datalas:
To be fair, it's not that grey an area.
As far as I'm aware (and I have had this discussion with a few people) it is illegal for manufacturers to produce none type approved bumpers with a-bars, or a-bars in general after a specific date. Any they had on their shelves up and to that date are fair game for being sold and/or fitted.
Hence the theory is that, if people stop making them then the ones on the shelves will sell out in due course (not to mention that the manufacturers are likely to be reluctant to sell anything they still have at this point for fear of reprisals) and hence they become rare / obsolete very quickly.
Aside from disagreeing with the law itself, it is quite an elegant solution.

As for the driving of a stripped down Landy, not a problem, providing the door bottoms are in place.
Again, I wouldn't have a problem with it, although the idea of insects and road gravel flicking into the face is a bit beyond me.

Ahh, well, you see officer, its like this... I actually remove the whole door (Lightweight ones just lift off) and that is how I was driving when traffic cop said it was ok.
