Go to www.landrover.com ---> Retailers---> accessories. Lots of accessories pictured. I think the A-bar looks great. One thing I hated aboutr LR3 was the body colored grille blendingd in to much. The A-bar brings out the center of the car and helps the look.

I thought I really wanted to the awesome brush guard. However, after looking into it, seeing them and examining them in real life, I decided against it. Keep in mind, I was not neutral going into this. Prior/during buying the LR3 the brush guard was a fore gone conclusion that I was going to get it. I loved it. . . I thought.
When I looked at a couple LR3s with it installed, my desire reduced. When I looked at the installs and the functioning, it reduced. Lookwise, it also reduced.
The install does not lend great solid support. You can push the top and it moves. I don't like that. The thing looks rock solid in the pictures. . . Once you touch it, it is kinda movable to much. Also, the look of it, ONLY in person, makes the LR3 look taller and skinnier. Never noticed this in the pics. In taking long hard looks at it, it makes the LR3 look less wide, and more high. I hate that look. A good wide front end looks great in my opinion. The guard detracted from the wide look. Overall I considered the significant weight hung out in about the worst spot possible. . . The covering of the great looking LR grill and badge area. . . Finally, it would also block my remote radar (Bel RX75 Pro Plus) install.
Sorry for the length, but just wanted to tell you the story of the brush guard lover, that once seeing the guard in person, completely eliminated it. (Also, cost was not an object such was my initial ill founded love it. . .)

Schafari, that was quite a rant, but if we didn't all have different tastes, the world would be boring.
Nevermind the fact that you have a radar in your SUV. That's just silly...if you want to drive fast, buy a sports car.
Also, your concern for how rigid the brushbar is amuses me. Do you actually take your LR3 offroad? (I do on occasion but I am no means a pure offroader) If so, do you intend to knock over Redwoods with it?
It does what it is intended to do, and looks great, especially on a Black vehicle. ..but that's my opinion based on my taste (as is yours above) so I'm glad you don't like it and I really hope that few people purchase the A-frame bar because I value uniqueness.
See ya
