Fitting a plastic bullbar was created by goatboy
Again I call on the distilled wisdom of BigJimny to help me.... :laugh:

Has anybody fitted (or even removed) a plastic suzuki bull bar?
I got one from a scrapyard (delivered to me I doidn't take it off myself) and I can't work out for the life of me how its meant to be installed. It came with 2 L shaped brackets (see pic) that don't seem to tie up with anything...

Also I'm not sure if the existing centre section (black bit just below the grill in the attached picture) of the front bumper is meant to be removed or if it fits over the top of it....
Can anyone help?

Thanks! :)

Ive seen some (metal ones aswell) that fit only through number plate holes! Is that likely with yours?

Posted this link re side steps last week it does have pdfs with fitting instructions for their own products which might help, I'd guess it should bolt to front chassis rails and the brackets will be to hold it away from bumper - possibly some places to fix behind erxisting number plate?

There is seemingly no mounts.at the front at all. Just 3 bolt holes underneath near the towing eyes...
I'll check out the site. Thanks.

Black plastic piece stays in place. L brackets fit to chassis and protrudes through existing bumper and new bar attaches to the other end. You should have had 3x plastic spacer tubes with it two longer ones and a shorter one. These go in between the new bull bar and the existing bodywork up in under the front of the vehicle three holes at the rear of the bull bar. the short tube goes in the middle. Hope this helps.
