Removing nudge bar

[Mallard]

Hello everyone. First post on this forum for me.

I'm a long term Toyota fan, having driven a 1991 V8 Soarer for the last eight years. It's been a fantastic car to have and that it is still solid after 21 years is a great testimony to Toyota engineering.

I've just bought a 2007 AWD KX-S for my wife, having persuaded her away from Hyundais and Fords.

The car we've bought has an original nudge bar on the front and my missus isn't too sure about it, having just come from a Corolla. I've seen the thread on attaching a nudge bar but is it a relatively simple process to take it off too?

Presumably I'll need to source caps that cover the tow points on the front bar, as well as bolts to reattach the number plate. Can these be bought from Toyota?

Cheers.

Steve if your local Toyota dealer is friendly enough he might give you a pair of covers as they would have plenty from cars that they have fitted bars to. They left my covers in the glove box of my new car.

Amazingly the covers were in the glove box when I picked it up. So I just need a bracket for the rego plate now. Toyota parts have advised me to find a wrecker asthey are a couple of hundred bucks.

It's a fantastic car. I actually like the nudge bar so I'll see if my missus will grow into it.
