Bakkie
owners looking to improve the functionality and design of their vehicle often
decide to purchase a canopy. The first choice they are faced with is whether to
buy new, refurbished or used bakkie canopies. The benefits of each available
option need to be considered and these will be summarised below.
Benefits of New Bakkie Canopies
New
canopies are made to fit the exact specifications of your vehicle and will
usually come with an extensive warranty. A brand new canopy will also look a
lot more attractive than a used one simply because the paint and coatings are
fresh whereas older canopies may become faded and discoloured over time. Benefits of Used Canopies
Used
bakkie canopies can be found is pretty good condition and they can cost a
fraction of what a brand new canopy would. If you wish to have the canopy
sprayed so that it matches the exact colour of the vehicle then it would cost
you less money to spray a used canopy than it would to custom spray a new one.
The Benefits of Buying Refurbished Canopies
A
refurbished bakkie canopy is a used canopy that has been refreshed by a dealer.
General improvements include the installing new rubbers, replacing existing
fittings with new ones and giving the entire canopy a coat of paint. The colour
of the paint will either be standard or matched to the colour of the bakkie.
These canopies look like new bakkie canopies but cost less.
