It looks good, but to be Euro spec compared to the US it needs to be more pedestrian collision friendly. This means no hoops, and any recovery points have to be recessed and can not stick out of the front of a bumper. Not all countries in Europe require this, but there are several that have adopted this rule.
So what bumper is being displayed here because.....I see both.
The exposed weld patterns on the shoulders indicate to me that there's 'radical'
design consideration rather than correct weld joint preparation for adequate
penetration and fusion at the joint.
To each their own I guess

This side of the pond is really crazy on this stuff ...
The lower two pics in this link show how the ARB Sahara bar needs to be modified to obtain TUV omologation, by removing the top bar.

kinda looks like an ARB/AEV combo..not my cup of tea but whatever floats your boat
agreed..Ive seen hanson bumpers in person, they are quality units, but the welded shoulders looks tacky and not very though out..just my $.02

bumber is not connected to fenders, there is a gap between the two. The big question would be , they are calling it a euro spec bumper , does that mean it is TUV approved?
