VRS + Estate rear bumper much diff?

Featured Replies

Hi guys, I am looking at getting some armourfend for the rear bumper of my girlfriends 2003 vRS. I want some to cover the top part of the rear bumper as our dog is scratching it getting in and out of the boot.

Armourfend only have a bit for a Fabia estate, I can see that the bumpers are not identicle but do you think that the top part is?

Thanks.

No - If I remember, the estate goes much more around the rear wing area. Another hatchback one would fit though. :) I am using a vRS bumper on a non vRS car. :thumbup:

Yeah the shape is very different, won't fit without a fair chunk of hard work. Ross did the one on my old car, hit up the Unit 18 forum section as well, Alistair might well know where to source it as well. Depends a bit on how far away you are etc though I guess :)

find an estate and measure the top section to see how it compares to the hatch, there will be a bit of difference but the stuff may fit anyway.

or find some clear vinyl and make your own protective strip to suit your bumper.

Thanks for the replies. I may be as well just trying a strip of something like this:

May not look excellent but better than any more damage.

you'd be better with some of this:

Oracal 651 transparent vinyl, a 5mtr roll wont cost much more than the tape and you will have waaaay more then you'll ever need.

or look on ebay, heres a metre for around a fiver:
