Top Five Accessories for your Toyota Corolla

By Stuart Johnston

Accessories make a car like the Toyota Corolla stand out in the crowd. Toyota offers a selection of dealer-approved accessories that range from the fun to the practical. And most of them are reversible, so they won’t affect the resale value of your car. Here is our Top Five list.

Toyota’s Corolla is an ideal “blank” canvass for accessorising. It’s a car that is neat and tidy in appearance, but generally it is unadorned by factory-designed frills. Thus many owners, who tend to be conservative, like to step outside the box when it comes to their beloved Toyota sedans.

Toyota is one of the manufacturers that carries an approved range of accessories that won’t invalidate the new-car warranty.

Here are our Top Five Toyota-approved add-ons that can make your motoring life more fun, more practical, or both!

1. Roof rack. The Toyota roof rack is a lockable aerodynamic design that is easy to install and remove.

2. Boot spoiler , pre-primed. This quality moulding seamlessly integrates with your Corolla’s streamlining to create a look of high performance. The spoiler needs to be colour-matched to your car and painted.

 3. Towbar, detachable, with swan neck. This detachable towbar gives your car an added dimension of load-carrying flexibility. Owners are advised to  consult the owner’s manual for towing capacity of the vehicle. This item includes a towbar wiring harness.

4. Protective body side mouldings, primed. These add style and protection to your vehicle’s doors. You will need to colour match them to your car and have them painted.

5. High impact resistance acrylic headlight protectors. These  protect your headlights from shattering, sandblasting fading and breaking.
