Nudge bar or not? was created by Muzza904
Well I took of my silver nudge bar this afternoon and I always thought they made it look better but actually now it's off I think I prefer it without lol :laugh: I took it off due to some damage after an unfortunate event :blush: so I'll be putting it on the for sale section should anyone be looking for one.

I have had the same dilemma, however I have had a different outcome, when I first brought the car removing the nudge bar was the first thing I wanted to do, however it has quickly grown on me and I have decided to keep it. It may reduce the angle of which I can approach things however it had not caused any issues as yet, it has collected a few scratches however :lol:
it does look good without though.

Yeah well I can't decide wether to fit a stainless A bar like yours so that I can fit spotlights but it's quite pricy for me and I could just get a roof bar.

It's polished Alloy, much lighter than stainless steel.
I had previously mounted them direct to bumper but had to fit a length of thick aluminium bar behind the bumper as prior to that, the lights vibrated at speed....
Or you can just fit a light bar for around $30. Unexpected bonus with that was the angle from above prevented toll cameras getting a pic of my plate for auto-tolling so I used the toll freeways free for a few years
Here was the car with spots on bumper and lightbar holding the fog lights and obscuring the plates from prying toll cameras

Haha that's brilliant nice and sneaky :whistle: I quite like that mini light bar it looks nice and neat and have you fitted a Suzuki hood ornament and a giant horn lol
Do just 2 spotlights make a good enough beam? That's all I think I could afford until Christmas

It really depends on what you want the spots for as to what to get. Ideally you would use a pencil beam for long distance (normally a clear lense) and a broad beam (usually has ripples in lens to spread light). In Oz Kangaroos are a real menace so I go with two pencil beams to spot them far away but there is an opinion that 1 of each is best as the kangaroos can be picked up coming from the side with a broad beam.
When I go out shooting at night I fit an LED light Bar as they illuminate a huge area...
