Front bumper options
I was considering the Landrover soft A-Bar as I'd like to hang a light bar from it but understand it's not compatible with the KBX grille.

What other options are there that'll accommodate a light bar and fit to a Puma with aircon?

Can you mount a light bar into the KBX grill? Would need cutting to accommodate the light bar but would look very smart I think Thumbs Up 2015 HT XS 90

Guess it sticks out too far? I emailed Dan from Duckworths on here for a price and he said it’s not compatible

Possibly, I have no interest in attempting this myself and would rather get someone who knows what they’re doing

If the grille doesn't stick out past the bumper I can't see a problem with fitting the a bar. Ray

Bumper based light bar mount like D44's? Low line, mounted direct to OE bumper. _\Hennessey|Venom| F5/___

Does the KBX grille allow a LED bar to be mounted below the lower grille? (Not sure if the KBX has a lower grille?).

Can't think who it was on here who mounted it covertly behind the lower grille? But looked very tidy. James

They both look good but I really want a bigger front bumper/nudge bar that a light bar can be attached too

Or has anyone got the A-bar in conjunction with the KBX fitted?
