Default removing bull bar from ute

I have a series II ute and I want to take the bull bar off the front, problem is its the type that goes into the bumper ie. bumper and bull bar go together. What are my options for doing this?? I assume just get a new front bar from somewhere and put that on?

Also, whats the go with different series and front bars, I want to make sure I get the right one so are series 1/2/3 bars interchangeable? What about the grills are they all the same?

anyone want to buy a bumper/bull bar combo or trade?? :

The front of all series AU utes are the same. should be a straight swap with a new bar

not totally true
the grill doesn't attach to the bar, and only effects what bonnet you can run...ie 1 and 2 are differn't bonnets, but all utes are the same.

All non-XR utes use Series 1 front bumpers ... with the Series 1 low-series bonnet.
