Bumper Protector

Discussion in 'General Motoring' started by Phil Lefebvre, Aug 30, 2003.

  1. We jsut had our front bumper replaced after someone bashed in our 850's
    front (then took off without leaving a note). I'd like to keep the
    bumper looking new, as we may be selling the car within the next 6
    months. Is there anything one might recommend to protect it from the
    normal abuse the bumper of a car parked on the street takes on a daily
    basis?

    Thanks

    I was going to say park behind a tank, but I like Gary's idea even better
    ;-)

  4. If it's only for a short time and you don't mind the looks, then maybe
    wrap and tape a bicycle inner tube around the corners..or even tape on
    a bit of thick cut up rubber like a car mat/tyre etc. Something like
    Gaffer tape should be strong enough to tape it with (do they call it
    Gaffer tape in the USA?,...thick 'cloth' tape)

  5. Phil: Maybe you could purchase some 3M protective clear film and put it on
    the bumper painted surface, at least.
