Chimaera Roll Bar
Discussion
I am in the process of up grading my Chimaera 4.0L to a 5.0L from a dealer at the moment and am going to have a Roll bar fitted.
Both me and my other half are 5'11 and don't have a massive ammount of space in the car so would like to look at a Chimeara in the flesh prior to ordering a roll bar probably from either Roll centre or Peninsular, and whonder if any one who lives in Surrey / the south east has a roll bar fitted to their Chimaera and would be kind enough to let me have a look at in situe.
Any advice or experiences would also be very welcom as well.

Thanks for all the replies, having a bit of a nightmare at work at the moment so so busy very rare !!!!! Hence no replys sorry
Having spoken to both TVR today (Roll bar unfitted £142 +vat), Tower view fia approved (about £500 fitted) and Peninsular not approved but look great, as I want the roll bar to be very functinal for me and the good Lady I think its probably the Rollcentre one but the TVR one is very tempting as its so much cheaper I know all the yo get what you pay for bit but its still about £350 difference
Loon I would like to have a look at some time is your on the Chimaera or the cerbie ?
Jon I would also like to have a look at your as I think the rollcentre one is probably my first choice (purely from a safty point of view as I know its been tested) I work twice a week in Hammersmith so just let me know when you are back in Ealing and maybee we can meet up e-mail in profile.
My only concern about all this is some of the comments about head hitting steel in an accident, I can't see me ever rolling my chimaera (famous last words) however once saw someone do it at about 30mph on a roundabout and it was a very sobering experience watching the front screen fold flat, guy got out ok but very very lucky !!!!
Just not sure if I wnat my head to hit concrete or metal, probably metal how morbid !!!
Once again thanks
