You suggested that this would be OK as a slight modification but the thread so far seems to suggest that the front has been adapted to fit the whole front bar in any case. Advice please/ Will it be best to simply revert to the old design by adding the front peices or will this pass DVLA inspection AND fit with the bonnet design you are working on. Not a great deal of work to change back I guess, but don't want to do it if I don't have to?
Difficult to say Simon ....some Offices won't give it a glance , some will possibly come out with their chassis drawing and tape measure.

I would be confident enough to present it here in Poole , but that doesn't help you , being 250 odd miles away....

If you are want to go the safe route ...I would add the original crossmember ....but its your call.

SORRY I can't be any less vague
