Where can I find a metal rear bumper protector?

Post by Scorcher »

Want something a little sturdier than the VW clear sticky strip, as I managed to put my first mark on the back bumper unloading a lawnmower :(

How about one of these.

I've also seen chrome ones elsewhere but on a black car I think theyll look cheesy.

Nope - it's around £30 though IIRC
