New Approved Frond Guards

At Laipol 4x4 we are working hard to rapidly increase our range of Frond Guards approved under the recent European Directive 2005/66. The directive refers to the type of specifications the bumpers must conform to and the tests to which they must be submitted before they can be installed on the vehicles' frontal areas. This European Directive was drawn up to protect pedestrians and other road users.

It is our pleasure to announce that we already have Frond Guards that conform to these new specifications and each model comes in two versions, a larger 76mm pipe and a smaller 63mm pipe. The certified models are:
Toyota RAV4 2006
Nissan Navara 2005
Suzuki Grand Vitara 2005
Hyundai Santa Fe 2006
Nissan Pathfinder 2005

The following models have already satisfactorily met with the test requirements:
Toyota Hilux 2006
Kia Sportage 2005
Toyota Land Cruiser 120
Hyundai Tucson2005
Ford Ranger 2007
Mitsubishi L200 2006
Isuzu D-Max 2007
Mazda BT-50 2007

During the coming month, we will have all the necessary documentation ready and will be beginning the product launch.

On our website, the models that have been approved will carry our EU;type approval logo.
