Had my front wheels off before, lcr has a standard front role bar but the colloars around it are looking very worn and the plastic looks perished. My mate has said this wont really affect performance for now but may start knocking. How much would i be looking at replace a front role bar? labour and bar?

If replacing may as well upgrade to 21-25mm and go with a rear at the same time.
About 2 hours to replace front, less than an hour fit rear bar.
Due to front subframe being dropped to access and replace bar will require a 4 wheel alignment check.
Leave until you uprate or it knocks

The cracked coating will effect the handling as the bush will not fit around the bar snugly leaving movement etc. As above better off to uprate bar when at it. R32 23mm one with all bits is £100 and makes a big difference to the handling
