Say I wanted to up the armour level on a vehicle by 50, is it possible to get the health bar (whatever it's called) to show that increase client side, without them needing to download anything. I know the increase can be done server side through an objects file, it's just the health bar that doesn't show the new value client side.
Any ideas?

I know how to increase it, I want to know if there's a way to get it to show client side without the need to download a modified map.

I don't think there is, however you could use a stronger type of armor; that way it would show the correct health bar, but just take a little longer to deminish.

To get it exactly how you want it would be a little tricky, but possible.
You could attach a script to the player so that when there total health and armor is at one third (or whatever balance you feel is right) of there total possible max health/armor then it changes there armor type to a slightly stonger one.
This would mean taking there health down for there last bit of life is slightly harder, but as an over-all average would give you the result you want.
That is unless someone knows how to change the health bar as you was suggesting without a client download. But I am not aware if this is actually possible.

No, I can make the changes server side quite easily. The health bar however doesn't show the increase. So the first few shots make it look like no damages is being done, until it gets below what was the standard level.
