After washing the car from a camping trip i noticed a couple of small stone chips. has anyone seen or know if a carbra can be fitted with a nudge bar?

Re: carbra


Don't know about fitting a car bra with a nudge, but I've seen a full-on car bra that covers the whole front section of the exy and has those transparent cut-out for the head-lights.

I had a photo of it and it was of a Mexican exy, but I can't find the photo now.

I've asked about it ages ago and no one could tell me where to get it from and I could not find it on the net either.

Would have the perfect solution for off-road and long highway trips.

I'll see if I can find the photo again.

EDIT: Just found a very similar photo of a Honda HRV fitted with one of these bras and contacted the company that makes them in Melbourne to see if they can custom design one for the exy emoticon

OK, got a reply from CARBRA in Melbourne and they have confirmed that they have a car-bra to suit our exy both with and without a factory nudge.

Price is $407 delivered anywhere in Australia.

They're now looking into making one to suit the type of nudge I have emoticon

I hope this info. helps.

Re: carbra


Thanks mate you work quick. Are you in the market for one? Im in north qld and with all the trucks up here its a must I think. Do you know if they rub the paint work? have heard storys of worn paint? I also have lightforce 170s on the nudge so hope it will still go on.

Re: carbra


Yes, am in the market for one, but not for that much emoticon it's pretty expensive, considering other car-bras overseas are selling for around $100US (not for the exy though)

Not sure about rubbing the paintwork, as I've never had this car-bra before, but the above manufacturer claims the following:

quote:


Our Car-Bra's are designed to protect the front section of your vehicle from damage, by stone chips, mud, tar, bugs, etc. A special water-resistant durable vinyl with soft backed felt has been developed to provide perfect protection.



I presume this would lessen the chance of paint rub but in any case, I wouldn't leave this bra for extended period of times.

You can email them your specs and they'll respond. They told me it will fit an exy with the standard nudge bar and I guess they have taken into account the standard driving lights, so you better check about the 170's and send them a pic of your exy just to make sure.

Re: carbra


I had a factory carbra fitted to my Jeep and at certain speeds the wind could get under it and make it flap a bit which didn't help the paintwsork. I also had a couple of occasions where stuff got stuck between it and the bodywork.

Mind you, the ones that are being suggested might be okay - you'd have to fit one to know, I guess.

Re: carbra


That looks very good indeed.

The only problem I see is that it may not fit an xtrail with a nudge bar attached.

Re: carbra


G'day roytab

Thanks for posting the pics of your exy.

Do you find you get adequate air flow through to the engine with the carbra on?

And Jalal, could you not alter the carbra to fit around the nudge bar / bull bar? Any seamstress with half a talent could sew on some (velcro) tabs after regigging the cover. Only thing is that it may not be as taught (spelling?) as the original.

Just a thought ....
