Bull Bars
A bull bar is an accessory designed to protect the front of a vehicle from impact with objects on the road. The earlier bull bar was made of heavy steel and other metsls, but these were eventually banned because they caused more injury than they prevented. The modern bull bar is now made of lighter materials like aluminum and plastic composites, which offer added impact absorption. The bull bar is commonly called the "roo bar" in Australia because of the road hazards presented by stray kangaroos.
Nudge bars
The nudge bar is a small, lightweight bull bar commonly used for smaller vehicles, such as sedans. Unlike the standard bull bar, it only protects the radiator grille rather than the entire front, leaving the fender or bumper free. Because it's easier to install, it's usually preferred by new drivers who don't have the gear to install a regular bull bar.
Accessory bars
The bull bar can also serve as a mere accessory for your car. A well-placed, well-chosen bull bar can give your car a rugged look that sets it apart from other cars on the road. If you're conscious about scratches on your car, a bull bar can deflect bushes and small particles to keep it looking smooth. For a shiny finish, look for a chrome bull bar.
Choosing a bullbar
No matter what your preference, protection should be on top of your list when it comes to buying a bull bar. Choose a strong, sturdy bar if you're into off-road travel, or go for a lighter plastic one if your main concern is hitting road animals or pedestrians.
