General Home made bull bars..

[Jaff_Fox]

After 3 years i've finally given up trying to find bull bars for my panda.. so I made my own from some old ones of a suzuki. I was quite surprised how little i had to chop off them to make them fit.. Heres the pics.. please don't laugh too much ;p

Very impressive !!

They look better than the originals that we have on 2 of ours. Are you going to do drop-down rear ones to match ?

HHmmmmmmm

 

[Jaff_Fox]

I'd love to fit rear ones too yea but.. umm.. i have so few pictures of what the rear ones look like to copy them Thanks though, i was wondering if i should put them on or not! Now i think i'll leave them on

Thanks Dave - if you look where Bertie's standing it's not surprising I've got that particular expression on my face

O.k. my friend,

I've just stripped a full set of front and back bars of a G reg. I'll take some pics and measurements of the rear set for you asap.

A word of warning: once the rear bars are installed it is virtually impossible to remove the rear light assembly. I get around this by removing the plastic captive nut fom the bottom of the rear light cavity and fitting it to the side quarter-panel. Then I drill a hole through the excess of the rear light assembly-side to match up, after removing the 'cluster's' lower fixing screw fitting.
The result is the ability to change a bulb in 5 minutes instead of three weeks !!
Kindest,

P.S like the picture !!

HHmmmmmmm

 

[Jaff_Fox]

Thanks matie!
Was I foolish for thinking i'm the only one who had bodged to heck his panda? I'll await the pictures then I guess its off to the scrappers again to find stuff to weld into shape!

 

[pandafan]

I'll take the relevant pictures tomorrow my friend.

I have a set of bars off a car, plus a set on a car...so I'll try to take some 'informative' shots.

Please send an address for me to send them to. I'm at [email protected]
Kindest,

HHmmmmmmm

hi ive been looking for bullbars and a roof rack for my panda 4x4, ive got my driving test on friday and become quite keen on my panda, i think bullbars look great on them and i know you've made your own but what suzuki did you take the bullars from to make your own and how did you do it? also do you know where to get the fiat panda speakers aswell? and do you find many parts for fiat pandas down the scrappers? please help me im new to the fiat panda lovers so i need so much help, are there any websites that will help aswell? james

Might Aswel Look Real SMART !

My friend got me the bull bars for a laugh we never thought they would fit, so i don't know exactly what suzuki they are from. There held on with two long bolts. I basically just shortened them and then they fit. I didn't have access to a welder so i used fibre glass to fix them back together then sanded them. Can't see the join

You will fina panda speaker casing at a scrappers if you are patient, i've seen loads. Then i got small sony speakers for inside them. I doubt you'll ever find panda bull bars, they seem very rare and even most 4x4's don't have them

I always find panda parts at scrappers, I personally hate scrap yards as the owners always seem to have attitude problems but its a good way to get cheap parts, also keep your eye on ebay.

Because every fox needs one!

Steve: Which Panda are you looking for, and how much (or little) do you want to pay for it?
