Sportivo
accessories by Toyota not only come with a full 3 year/100,000km
warranty* when fitted at new car purchase, they also carry
all the design and safety excellence that is a hallmark
of Toyota’s stringent global quality controls. Every
Sportivo accessory must also be designed so that when fitted
to the vehicle, the vehicle will comply with the regulations
and standards of the Australian Government’s Australian
Design Rules. Surprisingly, accessories which are sold by
auto businesses may not be tested for any such compliance
(e.g. a spoiler fabricated by a suburban fibreglass company).
I SEE BIG DIFFERENCES WHEN I LOOK
DEEPER
Each individual Sportivo accessory has its
own story of design integrity and safety – most of
which are impossible to see at first glance. Sportivo body
systems, skirts and spoilers are constructed from high tech
materials which are lightweight, flexible and impact resistant.
They are comprehensively tested by Toyota, and comply with
relevant ADRs.
Naturally, the precision manufacturing processes
ensure a perfect fit. Some non-genuine body kits and spoilers
are made from hand-laid fibreglass which may be less precise,
heavier and easily damaged by even minor bumps and scrapes.
They may be less likely to be thoroughly tested or ADR compliant,
and may require plenty of drilling for fitting. These are
facts you should check before you buy.
