Default Bull bar - Possible?

Has Anyone tried to put one of these Bull bar on a Discovery II ?

04-11 TITAN/ARMADA BULL BAR GRILL PUSH BAR+4X4 FOG LIGHT LAMP CLEAR COMBO | eBay

I am guessing with small Modification one can be fit on a Discovery. Any idea?

Thanks

Have not found one that fits on Discovery II. I was just curious to see if these new aggressive looking one can fit.

I am not talking about entire brush guard.

Thanks

For the advertised price, including 2 lights, you are buying a big piece of plastic that if it were made to fit would not offer any protection.
Go to Atlantic British and look at what they have to offer but be prepared to pay the more normal, $600 to $1000.

I am sure it can be made to fit but the mounting points look very weak to me. Imagine the leverage if you did hit something, it would rip right off the truck. It does say it is stainless steel but then I am not sure why they powder coated it then. I would just consider it a place to mount those lights and to push shopping carts out of the way when it is raining out.

If you were going to do some wheeling or ranch work and you knew you may actually use it for the intended purpose then try to find something a little more substantial in weight and design.

Thank you. I had my doubt that is why I was probing for more information. These comes in all different quality and price range. I am not always convinced that I have to get something with a LR logo and the price is 10X.
My other truck has the big brush guard and I would like to get a Bull bar that may fit with minor hardware modification.

Thanks again.
