that is the question.... .whether 'tis nobler to fit suffer the slings and arrows of a potentially dented front bumper or to take arms and not have to be careful when I drive into the garage

there's a camino gold MK2 on carsales with a nudge bar, I've got one in the garage I could fit - what do you reckon? I've been toying with it for a while...

no nudge (mine)

I don't like nudge bars on roundies or clubmans but that is just my opinion, looks wise
it might be nice to have some protection from other careless cars though and my experience has been the more big bits of metal you have around the car the less likely you are to get panel damage. :x 8)
Not so pedestrian friendly though I guess :oops: but I do a fair bit of country driving so my camry's bullbar is justified :D :wink:

Nudge bars just don't look right!
