VY Holden Alloy Bullbar

MrsPotatoHead · 25-01-2007, 10:57

Does anyone know of a company that makes a tidy 5 post alloy Bullbar to suit VYs?

I'm looking for a smaller bar, with blinkers etc on the bar to keep the Police a little happy!

In Victoria would be best!

And yes, I'm having a 'quarter-life' crisis

Platts make a smaller bar. Or these the mob in QLD. Or of course a Blueys bar. Not a big fan on the smaller blueys bar as they're overpriced for what you get size wise. Always a couple floating around at some stage that are second hand. Will get PLatts email for you - send them an email and tell them what you're after.

Yeah should've mentioned tuffies also - but couldnt be assed copying it again. That'd be my top 3 choices. Platts, Hopper Knocker, and Tuffies.

Then again some of those bars the lads iN WA have are quite nice also. And it shys away from the 5 poster bit and seeing how Milfy uses her ute for her goat meat dilvieries it may seem a little less out there and more business-y.

There's some Tuff Bars for Holdens.... None really take my fancy there though.

Yeah, Carrots is right. I don't want something too 'out there'.... Might scare away some of my Melbourne customers! Just something that's nice...but not gay. Make sense? lol

Dazza_XL · 25-01-2007, 12:42

These would be ok I'd reckon.
Or you could always go with a Smartbar. Only problem with these is they direct the animal etc over the bonnet.

Carrots · 25-01-2007, 12:51

I'd rather a smart bar over that ECB one.....looks gay....although Darran did pick it, says it all really....

Search the gallery for the bbar Smarty put on his SSZ in WA. Looks nice for a non 5 poster bar. Think I read it was from QLD.

Thats a Tuff Bar.

Actually may be too big! Sweet but. But if they kill 5 posta i'll be going for one of those!

Thought that was the ARB bar that was at Dowerin Field Days? Not sure if they get them in from Tuff?

If you like the look of the 3 posters Irvin does (Same as Southern Belle's and GenIII's) I know there's one over here... more incentive to come over?! ha ha but... I'd definately prefer Smarty's!

Plat also do custom. Might be a bit pricey, but when I was looking at one they sent me a few photos to sort of mix'n'match.

And I think that bar of Smarty's is $1400 though ARB? Don't quote me though!
