Best rear bumper protector

The Talking Donkey · Jan 28th, 2018, 21:40

I'm trying not to be too much of a pussy about my car, but it's the nearest thing to a new car I've ever had and I intend for it to see me out. I often have to rely on others to unload boxes of camera equipment from the back and so woukd like to somehow add a bumper protector to the boot liner I've installed.

Amy recommendations please?

Thank you.

I bought a cheap boot liner of ebay for about £6 which has a fold out flap.
When it gets beyond cleaning, I'll throw it away and get a new one.

You can buy lip protector parts if that's what you mean - I have the volvo one which I think is a bit too small really, lots of aftermarket ones on amazon/ebay

My bumper has been covered in 3M clear wrap. Can’t even see it!

Thank you.

got mine from Chromemasters on ebay....not too cheap, (but less than volvo) fitted perfectly and looks good too.

I had the same worries, so before I picked up my new first gen XC60 D4 in September, I tested if the black plastic insert of the previous model (MY2013) was interchangeable with the painted insert of the new car, which indeed it is. So the dealer agreed to order for stock a black plastic one using the part number of the item (rather than the vehicle model), and for £45 I now have a strong plastic protector for the rear bumper which fits neatly and covers the vulnerable painted bumper. Blends in well with the Magic Blue paint and very pleased with it.
