Mount some bright lights on it and it would be very difficult to make out the reg.

    I have no intention of going to the moon, but it doesn't mean I can't be interested in learning about it.

    It does concern me, as it's posted on a public board of which I have been granted access to.

    You mean like the OP posted on a public board to which they also have access to in order to try to learn something?

    Any such lights would almost certainly be illegal.
    The item itself looks rather dodgy - it's not pedestrian-friendly.

    Never mind the lights, I thought bull bars weren't allowed any more.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    I'm glad you recognised that straight away, some over priced tat and some wanna get on my case .

    It's probably made of such cheap and poor quality aluminium that it's unlikely to do too much damage if it were to hit a pedestrian.
