Smile X-Trail Bug Shield

Hi Guys,

Has anyone seen one of these or knows who makes them?

If you have, let us know where we can get them from.

The perfect protection for off-road and highway driving

You might want to reconsider installing one of those shields. The problem is that dirt, dust, etc tends to get stuck under those shields...and eventually it scratches the covered parts...

Thanks, but I intend using it only when it's required and I'd rather clean the excess dust and dirt that might get there, than scrub the bugs-off, which is a pain in the butt and might damage the paintwork even more.

Jalal, how about getting the clear protective adhesive made by 3M? They make some strips you can cut to fit the shape of your bonnet.

Yeah I know I can do that if I run-out of options, but this product looks much neater.

I didn't go this route. Instead I had a 3M Stone Guard Sheild applied to the front 6" of the hood and the front of the mirrors. It's much nicer than a bug sheild and provides equal protection IMO.

Yes, but does it cover your front grille as well?

Deflectors

Hi All,

I am interested window deflectors for the hood and doors but Stephen had mentioned that there are multiple types...

Stephen,
You mentioned there are two sizes or profiles for the door/window deflectors.
Are they both from Nissan? (sorry if we've been over this already)

As well, I believe I've seen different types/profiles for the hood deflector?

Do you have part numbers?
I do have numbers for one set of deflectors but don't know which profile theyare...

Anyone know of any other after market deflectors?

Thanks,

Martin

Hi Martin,

Yes, there 2 type of window deflectors, one is the slim-line similar to what Stephen has on his exy and the other one is the chunky which is only made for the front windows (similar to what I have on my exy) both are made by nissan.

Maxdax in Singapore sells aftermarket slim-line window deflectors.

http://www.maxdax.com/index.php?p=nissan_x-trail

In regards to the bonnet protector, nissan sells them in clear and smoked/dark colour. The part number can been seen here:

http://www.parrynissan.com.au/Accessories/xtrail.htm

There is an aftermarket bonnect protector available from New Zealand who makes them, and they look exactly as the one Stephen got on his car. The price for this bonnet protector is 64 EURO.

Good luck

Yes Jalal, it's a Mexican exty, As I've told you by PM, I asked the guy selling the X-T, Where did he get the bug shield, hope He'll answer soon.

Hi Manuel,

Your attention to detail must be 100% times better than mine, apart from seeing a wall and the sexy exy with a bra, I can't see any flags or electricity devices in that pic

I only knew it was a Mexican exy, because I found this xtrail selling on a Mexican eBay site.

I hope the seller gets back to you with the information soon

Thanks for the help.
