The thought of putting anything landrover on a zuk seems....wrong.

Be keen to see a pic of it on your Jim. You're right, to each their own.

i dont mind peoples opinions on what i do or put on it as its a toy.

That bar looks like it leans back a fair way. Make sure you check the clearance between the top tube of the bar and the bottom of the bonnet as you open it.
My ARB bar only has about a finger width between the top tube and the bonnet as its being opened and doesn't lean back as much as that land rover one appears to. Have a look at the XROX bar on Monkey's car. It leans forward which I think is at least in part to allow sufficient clearance.

thanks for ur view mate
