I'm not sure but i think it might be illegal to affix a non-deformable one of those to a car which didnt already have one. Reason being the
injuries the things cause to peds who get in the way

Just got back from Exeter show, there is a stall that is selling them, top right hand corner
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Looks like it'll be on a wood base then, should look really good on a piece of mahogany IMO
