If you are buying or have bought a used Toyota Corolla, you have a few options in terms of aftermarket equipment to fit and customise the vehicle to your liking.

Extra fitment

Toyota's most prolific nameplate is now in its twelfth generation and makes up hundreds of thousands of vehicles throughout the world. Corollas have built a reputation for longevity and bulletproof reliability as well as a design that ages slowly.

If you are buying a used model of either this current generation or even an older example, you will be able to find aftermarket kit to fit to your vehicle. We usually advocate for official equipment from the automaker and Toyota has a rather comprehensive list of official products for your Corolla.

How popular is the Toyota Corolla?



1. Rubber floormats

Protect the original carpets in your Corolla with a set of embossed logo floor mats that are easily removable and cleanable.


2. Boot spoiler

Not only purely cosmetic but somewhat functional, this compact profile spoiler not only makes your Corolla look good but can also aid in aerodynamics.


3. Bonnet Guard

The multitude of stone chips that your car gathers over the years will eventually lead to unsightly spots and rust marks. Fitting a bonnet guard may not be the most aesthetically pleasing accessory but will protect your cars paintwork for years to come.


4. Boot liner

Keep your cars boot area protected from luggage and gear wear. A vehicle's boot is a dead giveaway and tells the story of the car's life. Keep that carpet spick and span with a rubber bootliner. 


5. Wheel lock nuts

Foil those unsavoury characters that would relieve your car of its wheels in the night hours. Fit a set of wheel locknuts to prevent thievery.
