yes it's legal to remove it and won't effect the handling that badly at all.

Just either cut off all the mounts for it come MOT time or bolt it back on for the MOT.

Some testers get funny if you have removed it and the mounts are still there

Zuks don't need anti roll bars, they need to be 6" wider.

I don't think mine needs to be another 6" wider, it would then be wider than it is tall :lol:
