Nudge/Bull Bars

[John042]

Hi. I'm about to purchase a 2012 Toyota RAV4. A query to the seller reference fitting Nudge/Bull Bars to the front received a negative reply. In that they had tried various models which presented problems, ie cutting into bodywork etc? Has anyone successfully fitted them please without cutting into the bodywork? If so, make/supplier? Thanks J C.

I'm not sure you'll find a full bullbar, maybe just a A-bar type thing? And it'll probably just be cosmetic rather than offering any protection (could even make things worse in a small impact by damaging the bodywork and mounting points rather than the bumper taking the hit).

There's also the question of whether it'd be type approved: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/bull-ba...

A google search brought up these chaps, who claim type approval, and you could ask them for a copy of the instructions to ensure there's no cutting required?
