A question for you guys,
If an aftermarket manufacturer were to make and market a similar bar to the genuine Toyota accessory Front Bar similar to this one, [url="http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toyota/bv/generic_editorial.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@0416374812.1204101334@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccgadedejmmelmcfngcfkmdfkidfgh.0&navRoot=toyota_1024_root&portal=null&edname=HIL_acc&catname=%2ftoyota_1024_root%2fmain_nav%2fpageTopNav%2fZone+HILUX&menuid=12596&zone=Zone+HILUX&skin=-1undefined&id=HIL_acc"]http://www.toyota.co.uk/cgi-bin/toyota/bv/...&id=HIL_acc[/url]
and it were to be sold at around £150 plus vat, would it be a popular accessory for Rav 4 owners, depending on the styling of course.

I think you would get some interest from RAV owners...Big Fat Metal Bull Bars are a no no but this one is OK (A few members on here have that type, Fuji being one)

Unsure of any trade markls by the people in Japan on the Toyota one....

If its a copy of the Toyota one, and can be fitted without removing the front bumper there might be a que of
Rav owners trying to buy one.

It is a popular bar and I have pestered Toyota for a bulk purchase deal but to no avail

There are people out there that make such things, but any new bars have to meet the new approvals and ratings for such bars which is an expensive game. The question is, how many RAV's are outh there that need one? In reality, very few in the whole scheme of things,

Hi, I might have missed the point (wouldn't be the first time, and there are differences between Irish and UK specs) but have just taken delivery of Rav4 and one of the extras was this front bar. It was a single item in Ireland (I can get price if anyone's interested, wasn't shown seperately on my invoice) but seems to be part of a complete style pack on UK spec vehicles

£293.54 RETAIL delivered

My price £250 delivered to any UK address, which makes mine about £50 more expensive than a non genuine one when you include carriage and VAT :

Hi Parts King: I like this bumper as well as the step bars too.. How much does it cost to send it to Boston, USA? I have a 2010 Rav4 Base model. Please, could you email to me all the details to naturoses@yahoo.co.uk

Thanks
