Based on the 11th generation Corolla, this generation of Quest is a popular sight SA roads and is far from a 'de-specced' Corolla. Comfort, convenience and reliability are still top priority and there are quite a few examples on the used market for you to check. With those used models, what kind of accessories can you retrofit to a used Corolla Quest? We'll look at some genuine Toyota accessories.



1. Bonnet Guard (Clear or Carbon Fibre Look)



If you're often on the open road and find yourself picking up a lot of stone chips, a bonnet guard is good practice to protect your bonnet paintwork. You don't need to drill holes into your bonnet for this, as it just clips on.


2. Headlamp Guard



Modern headlamps are an expensive replacement thanks to the complexity and electronics involved. So it's good practice to protect them as best as you can. This clear headlamp guard will protect your headlamps from stone chips, cracking from projectiles like rocks, and even fading.


3. Roof rack



While the Corolla Quest has a massive boot, perhaps you need to chuck some items onto the roof in a roof box for those long road trips, but you need something to mount that roof box to. This is where these nifty roof racks come in.


4. Detachable/ Flange swan neck Towbar



Apart from the roof racks, this is another handy accessory if you want to tow something relatively small. This detachable towbar includes a wiring harness, too.


5. Side Visors Slimline (Clear / Carbon fibre look)



Want to keep your windows slightly open during rain or if you're driving at speed? These visors, which merely stick on to your window frame, will help with wind noise and keep the rain out.


You can enquire at your local Toyota dealer for these accessories.
