yeap illegal, cant go driving around without a front bar they will slap ya with a nice yellow decal to suit (as it will look like you just drove out of a nice minor front ender and your bar was left at the scene) :ermm:

Ill be driving my 32r around without a bumper to workshops over the next couple days. If cops pull me over ill be explaining the troubleshooting process.. theyd have to be bastards to sticker it. Trouble is.. they just sticker you for anything so its a risk.

Just because it might do more damage wouldn't make it illegal.. Bull bars are legal. But pedestrians would probably get sliced up when you try to run them over I guess

actually only some bull bars are legal

you can not have massively oversized t wing spoilers for the same reason... they take pedestrians heads off

yeap thats exactly it, why risk getting a yellow (and the whole process of taking your car through the pits etc) just for a stoopid front bar which wasnt fitted, not worth it.

if your just driving home from a workshop without a frontbar im sure it will be ok.

just drive normal, and if i cop pulls you over explain it just come from the workshop etc... i did it when i had to tow the car to the workshop then i was able to drive it home (took off the frontbar to make it easier for the tow-truck)

I drove around in my old car (VT wagon) for a week or 2 without a front bumper. Didnt have any problems. . not sure if cops saw me or not but didnt get pulled over while it was off. But yeah im pretty sure it is illegal for reasons like dan mentioned. And yeah im pretty sure no bonnet is illegal too

what about no bonnet. sometimes i have had to drive to the welder or muffler men without a bonnet. for them to do turbo work etc?

What. f**k. The. I would imagine it to be as legal as driving without doors on the car. :wave:

And in case you are serious that you don't leave your car at a workshop to be worked on, isn't the smartest idea to drive without a bonnet with all your wiring, spinning belts & fans & everything else exposed.

Its all illegal, as Dan put it...over the roof and a cool story or loose the legs. Have a look at a street driven hotrod like a T-bucket... blacked out fenders...and the plods give them easier time than imports. *...must be something to do with age*

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
