Hi Guys
Please can you advise me as to what is the best replacement front Bumper for my Fortuner .My Fortuner is one of the last ones sold before the new shape of 2011/2012 and I bought it in October 2011 new. I would like to replace the plastic front bumper with something more substantial with out being penalised with the weight .I have been told that there are some issues regarding the deployment of the airbags as well as the rust factor .I am in Kommetjie so this plays a major part in the decision making .It would have to be colour coded to match the rest of the Fortuner ,being white .Weight is a serious issue as I have been informed some actual make the nose drop visibly .There are also apparently some Aluminium versions which one could look at .Lastly how does this effect the warranty on the vehicle .I do not wish to compromise the safety of my passengers not having airbag protection which they enjoy with the original bumper .Cost is a important factor as well as being installed by a reputable dealer that is in Cape Town area .
I look forward to your combined wisdom.
Thanks so much
Kind regards
Pierre Oosthuizen
