Rawad Posted February 25, 2021 Report Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) Hello dears Am eager to know how to modify my car to minimise damage possibilities, and yet keep the elegant look that suits the city Hi @Lorenzo Candelpergher I noticed that you have the new model 2020 and it looks awesome. Is it a t1? Or did you modify the bumper and added a skid? It would be amazing if you can share some advises Thx Edited February 25, 2021 by Rawad Bahsas Adding tags 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence_Chehimi Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Hi @Rawad Bahsas, I have the same vehicle, I installed a bash plate and trimmed the bumper. you will find all details on the below link, my Vehicle has a radar as well so he made me an opening in the bash plate so the radar functions normally. The bash plate is 8mm thick, you also use an original desert bumper, so it fits perfectly (you get it from scrap yard for 150 AED). this guy also adds a steel wing bracket which gets attached to the factory crash bar, also adds a galvanized steel cover to minimize any sand intrusion to the engine bay. the most important part is that no additional holes were drilled, only used existing openings. i didn't install a light bar, rather i preferred to keep this area clear for proper ventilation, I bought a set of Baja squadron sports LED lights and planning to install them next week on the lower side of the bumper. will share photos once done.

Rawad Posted February 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 Hi @Lawrence_Chehimi Thanks mate thats quite nice work on your car I was planning on getting the T1 bumper and add a bash plate but I didn't know that I can still use the radar so my plan was to remove it. Good to know it works although I can't see how did he manage to cut the plate on any of the photos you shared I want to keep the original bumper to be installed during the summer since it will be too hot for desert drives. This way I will have two setups ready 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence_Chehimi Posted February 28, 2021 Report Share Posted February 28, 2021 @Rawad Bahsas here are some photos of my car.he also made me a cover to protect the radar during offroad drives. Just keep in mind that the inner fender covers or linning has to be cut as it usually comes all the way down in the city bumper. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rawad Posted March 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hey @Lawrence_Chehimi have you faced any issues with the warranty? Or even service? Also did the sensor need calibration after installing the hybris plate? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence_Chehimi Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi @Rawad Bahsas, just installed it last week so still didn't fight with Nissan yet. As for the service it doesn't affect it at all as the plate is just on the front and far from the engine oil pan and filter.usually this area is were the city bumper sits. As for the radar, no didn't have to anything to it, As we didn't touch it at all, we only made an opening facing the radar with a slightly bigger size than the one in the original bumper. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence_Chehimi Posted March 9, 2021 Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 @Rawad Bahsas just dropped my car for service at Nissan, no warranty issues😃 i also asked them about putting additional under body protection panels, they told me yeah if you are going offroad it is better, just make sure you put a thick one, as somebody used a thin plate that got deformed and gave them a hard time putting it back... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawad Posted March 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2021 @Lawrence Muchemi great news buddy I managed to damage my radar bracket on my first trip (with city bumper) and they need one month to get me a new one. Am gonna install the hybrid plate on Thursday but the issue is that am not so sure if nissan is going to install the new bracket and calibrate the radar for me while having this setup Have you found good under body protection plates? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
