Anyone know this one - http://www.classic-chrome.net/cars/mercedes-benz-g500-g-wagon-2001-51-black

Not seen those kind of "nudge" bars before. Were they MB options?

No, not MB options, I don't think, but 'bling' accessories often seen on ebay and from the likes of:

http://www.direct4x4.co.uk/brands/mercedes-benz/g-wagen-g-class.html

It looks like a nice vehicle. I recall when Caversham were taking special orders for these.

I had the front nudge bar, I'm sure the 2003 G55 AMG had these as well.

​The company I bought from I think went bust back in 2008.

Interesting as the bumper appears to sit proud of the nudge bar so gets no protection from it. If that is the case, what is the nudge bar supposed to do?

It's a rock slider bar to assist you to slide over the top of rocks when rock crawling.  Although I suspect that rock crawling was not at the front of the owners mind when he ordered a  shiny chrome one !

Yes, some AMG versions had these, but like yours they were thicker and more robust than that shown on this other G.
