The ultimate accessories for your Holden Colorado

The Holden Colorado may have departed from showrooms, but you can still breath new life into the Lion brand’s venerable ute thanks to a wide range of aftermarket parts and accessories. 

Holden broke the news in February that the company would cease operations in Australia and New Zealand, and as a result, the planned MY21 Holden Colorado had to be scrapped.

Fortunately, companies like ARB and Ironman 4x4 still offer all kinds of Holden Colorado accessories to personalise, and enhance the second-generation model.

Australians take great pride in their utes, but with so many dual-cab pick-ups on our roads, you may want to look to the world of Holden Colorado aftermarket accessories to make yours stand out from the crowd.

New wheels and window tint are popular ways to personalise the Colorado. Meanwhile, things like a bull bar or snorkel can greatly improve the Colorado’s off-road potential, while roof racks and canopies enhance its versatility.

Whatever it is you’re looking to do with your ute, read on to see some of the best Holden Colorado accessories now available.
