I don't know the answer to your question but I would advise caution as all bull bars manufactured and fitted after 2007 have to comply with EU legislation, do you know if the unbranded bull bar in you Ebay link does.

Good point, maybe I should shop around for one that I know is kosher
Anything that causes more damage to pedestrians in an accident us a big no-no . Maybe give insurance problems , mot failure etc

A good place to start is the manufacturer. Do they offer a retrofit one? Has the vehicle been homologated with one?

Actually- it’s a commercial vehicle so the whole crash system as regards a passenger car isn’t relevant (ask me how I know)- but I strongly suggest you find out if it was homologated with a bullbar or tubular bumper first.
