Wanted - OEM nudge bar

[willneill]

Looking for an OEM nudge bar to fit my 09 NT, would need the necessary parts for fitment, and sent to Melbourne. Does anyone know if it's a difficult job fitting?

Planning on having factory wheels powder coated black and will have the bar done at the same time. Is anyone running a black nudge bar, how does it look? Only purpose is to mount some lights.

They are an easy straight forward fit.

Have to carefully enlarge a couple of existing holes in grill and uses factory mounting points

If you have an aftermarket bash plate spacers needs to have an edge filed.

Have found a new and boxed genuine bar with all parts for $350.. does that sound reasonable? I then need to pay for postage from NSW to VIC...

Hi Will, I have my nudge bar black, still with peelable paint as I did my wheels before powdercoating and it's lasting ok. But up close it's pitted, originally mirror stainless steel. My suggestion is to get powdercoated when you do your wheels as I should have. The bar I bought is a cheap piece of rubbish off ebay, sold by Red...something here in Oz and the mounts have broken and also looking to move to an OEM option as replacement. I had to retro fit a stable cross bar to mount lightbar and daytime running lights underneath.

This shot is my Paj with black bar and the powdercoated wheels on the way to VIC snow in 2017.

Hi Hamish. Thanks for the advice and image, still looks good! I managed to get an OEM nudge bar and am finally booked in to have it and my wheels powder coated.

It was relatively easy to find the bar, got mine off gumtree new in the box with all bolts and bracketry. If you're looking you shouldn't have any issues.
