There's no one supplier who consistently knocks these out for peanuts. eBay can reveal some bargains, but I've seen them go for top £££ on there too.
One of the site sponsors, The Large One, is parts manager for a main dealer and can give a decent discount for forum members. Worth looking him up and dropping him a line, although there was a question mark over supply of these a little while back?I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

no, they have always been Concept Mouldings.
They started with metal bars coated in PU then went onto the current range of an energy absorbing centre, nylon exterior with soft skinned PU coat on top.
If Concept are selling OE, it's unusually. Have LR discontinued them ?

Concept are starting to work outside the scope of Land Rover... which ain't cool
they contacted me directly to source my a bars direct from them...they were only offering them £20 less than from Land Rover...not worth it
to be honest i think they must be feeling the pinch on supply as i haven't sold an a bar since the big selloff last year...TLO has left the building.......
I no longer work for a Landrover Dealer

yes, the MD thought that the removal of metal Bull bars would be pay dirt for them, but nobody wants the rubber bar they have approved.
Land Rover have been redesigning their front ends to meet the pedestrian impact so cars like the FL2 dont need a bar.
I guess there these bars from Concept will get cheaper then with limited demand, I can understand (although not accept) LR charging a premium price but not the supplier.
