Bull and Nudge bars

[mothy]

Hi All,

Have just bought a new Kluger Grande and so far very happy with it but mind you I've only done 650 k's.

I have come out of a smaller sedan but also often drive a Ford Territory from work so am quite familiar with driving and parking a vehicle of this size.

On test driving the Kluger I did ( and still do ) find that it is difficult to judge the front corners and the end of the bonnet so I had the front and rear parking sensors fitted but still find that this is a problem.

I was going to fit a nudge bar and preferred the look of the genuine Toyota product but was advised to fit an after market bar instead as the the alloy in the Toyota bar ( and this applies to bars for othe Toyota models as well apparently) stains, tarnishes and dulls very quickly and the marks can't be polished out.

This is only a cosmetic problem in no way affecting the function of the bar but I have seen an example of this on a 6 month old Prado and it certainly didn't look good for such a prominent accessory.

Have others noted this? Any comments appreciated.
