i can't find the part number...

i have my eye on a crash bar on ebay - only £9.99 at the moment but it doesn't have that pad - neither do others ones.

Is it possible the crashbar comes with the foam, but it's not shown?

Or maybe the foam is part of what the bumper comes with.

Yeah I meant to say in my previous comment about it being part of the bumper that it might be listed on the page with the bumper parts on.

I'll second that! i hate it when people assume that main dealers will be expensive and buy parts what they think are cheap when the dealer would have been cheaper overall!

there is one thing i carnt understand... why buy a motor home and then tow a car behind? after all you can drive to you destination (camp site) in your motor home and then drive to where you want in the same vehicle and then back?!
