Fortuner/vigo 'a' Frames

[PETERTHEEATER]

I have seen a number of Fortuners and Vigos with a plastic (?) 'A' frame attached to the front.

Can someone tell me the purpose of this device?

To make it look more ugly than it already is.

Touche'. I've got one but it reminds me of a maiden aunt. I like her though.

You mean the front grill guard? I think the part name suggests what it is for but I don't think it has any practical purpose. I've got one on my white Fortuner but I think it's least matching of all colors (looks good on black Fortuner, I guess).

No practical purpose? And people pay for them to be fitted?

Saw a similar item in an after market catalogue described as a 'Nudge bar'. Suggests that they are used for contacting the vehicle in front! Perhaps this is the weapon to be used on those big USA pick-ups labelled DODGE RAM when complying with those instructions.

If you mean the polyurethane thing, we got one thrown in when we bought the car. They wouldn't give us a cash discount, but chucked in the nudge-bar, floor mats, very odd fuzzy dashboard cover (which looks terrible, but actually does a cracking job at dissipating heat) and emergency kit.

I'm generally against nudge-bars, but then again I've seen the parking-scuffs on the front of my wife's Honda Jazz...

Edited to add that they're useful for nudging shopping-trolleys out of the way at Tesco!

Hi dubeditions,

Welcome to TV,

For a question such as yours that is totally unrelated to the OP, it might be better suited to use the PM function and contact the other party directly or start a new thread.

It will take some time to learn all the in's and out's of TV (my learning curve is still nearly vertical ), have fun and enjoy.

Oh, and in reply to your question; haven't a clue but it is not hard to find a COPY of just about anything here.

It's to brush aside annoying mopeds.
