Colour Coding Rubbing Strips

[RobClubley]

I've been thinking :eek:

Seeing as I'm going to have to fork out a few hundred quid to sort out the scratch some toerag put on my car I'm going to get a price to get the black rubbing strips colour coded. I've seen the pics of a red saloon on Briskoda with is done and I think it looks great.

Only problem is the back bumper on the estate. The black bit forms part of the loading area. Is it too much of a risk painting this area? Is there a way round it?

I suppose I could get it paintd then get a Milotec load protector thingy, but Butts claim to have never heard of them

Any ideas?

I remember seeing the pics of the red hatchback that had been done some time ago. TBH I think it looks odd myself but each to their own I suppose.

An easy and cheap solution is to have a piece of carpet in your boot to drap over the load sillwhen you load. Use this method a lot to stop wheelchairs etc sctaching when hoisted in. Best idea is a piece big enough to cover the whole area aqnd hangdown a bit and use a couple of self tappers on the inside of the boot to hold it in place,

Sounds like a good plan. Seeing as the boot area's made entirely out of easi-scratch plastic!!

hatchbag.co.uk do tailor-made solutions...boot-liner with optional bumper flap. Not cheap, but slightly more elegant than a piece of carpet. I'm gonna order one for the dog to go in my vRS.
