Have you tried your local tip/recycling centre? Quite often see various bullbars for sale, usually a fiver. Only problem being you dont know what vehicle they're off, but if you know what you're looking for.....
 
As it's a genuine part Land Rover call it 'Bar assembly-nudge-front polyurthane' STC8930AB.
So get a new one from a main dealer or an indi LR parts supplier or second hand from a breakers or eBay, they are available as patten part.

Two bolts hold it on and fits straight on to a standard bumper after the 'poly' number plate surround has been removed.

Are they still legal ? Thought there was some legislation a few years ago regarding injury possibilities to pedestrians. Don't see any new vehicles with them fitted.
 
Polyurthane bars are approved, new vehicles from May 2005 (UK regs) if they are fitted with them, then it must approved bars so no steel tubed bars now.

Not sure if it'll help you (esp with your location), but I've got a genuine Land Rover A bar, number STC50021 that I've removed from my TD5 that I recently bought. It's got a few marks, etc on it, and I had to cut the front to expose the mounting bolt (behind number plate area though, so can't be seen when fitted) to remove it, but i don't want anything for it, just free to someone who'd like to collect (or collect it for you). I'm based nr Abingdon in Oxfordshire.

PM me if anyone wants it - it'll only go to the tip if not.

Cheers

*edited to say: I must have read someone else's location - didn't realise you were only in Northants :)

Sorry for the delay fella, only just seen your reply! I'll pop round the garage tomorrow (Friday) and take a couple for you and post them here. As I said, there's a few marks on it, so please dont think its anything like new......but hey, it's free! :D
 
OK, here's a cpl of pics I've taken today. I'm sure most of the bar would clean up with some elbow grease & the right product. The hole in the front is covered fully by a normal sized number plate.
