does anyone have a picture of the 2" and 1.5" roll bar so I can compare?
The FF online parts catalog has pictures of both black and chrome to compare and there are lots of photos of Mk4s (1.5”) and Mk3.1 and earlier with the 2” bar. Are you looking for the cars side by side? My Mk1 obviously has the 2” bar and I have a 1.5” I’m going to swap in.

yes side by side, I have seen the 2" bar on the FFR site, but would like to see the visual comparison.
Burger, just looked at your 2" bars, I think I will keep the 1.5" bars on the kit to be completed on 4/11 as they look to me that is sleeker.

Here you go. To my eye, the 2-inch bars were always a little thick. The 1-1/2 inch bars a little on the thin side. The Breeze 1-3/4 inch bar is probably the best balance. Plus the slight rake back. But the look is also enhanced by being a little shorter. Which is nice visually but maybe not quite high enough in some cases.
Mk3 with Factory Five 2-inch roll bar.
Mk4 with Breeze 1-3/4 inch roll bar.
