Thank you! if only LR would bring one in for me. Dealership says no. I have a couple months before delivery. I have time to source it out. I noticed the AU spec has a part number VPLEB0442. Is that so you don't have to cut the bumper middle cover? remove the old and insert the replacement left and right? Same ugly silver color? I wish they made it all to match the gray / matt black end caps and molding.

I might try other dealerships or an independent LR shop. OC Rovers - Orange County Land Rover Service Center

I'll look into both. OC Rovers has not replied to a request so I may just drive in. I have a local shop in Seal Beach that works on Rovers. They may be willing to take on the install. Also considering a subscription on Topix. I want to try and install the domestic outlet. Can't find anything on where the inverter is to be located.

I came up with an idea on how to install the bull bar without importing in all the components.
Have the dealership installVPLEP0427 / VPLEP0490 without the winch. Purchase the AU Bull Bar, VPLEP0448, through Scuderia and pay less for all the shipping by omitting the winch assembly. $905.00 plus shipping. Well shipping is $2,881.27. If the entire assembly is shipped from Scuderia the cost is $3,138.91 for shipping only. Not much of a savings.
Maybe i can find a Bloke in AU to send to me or a buddy I know from NZ who imports cars and boas.

the other ones -- you can buy them in the silver, or just cut yours.
