Morning all, just wondering what fold out bumper guards are available. It's for the dog jumping in to the back to stop his paws destroying my car!!

Something like this?

(Same part - three different sources)

 

Cheaper 3rd party alternative here - bootliner with option for add-on bumper protector:

or look at rearguards.co.uk they stick to the rear bumber

Has anyone got one of the ones in the first link? That's exactly what I want but it says it's for vehicles with the variable boot floor.

I don't have the variable boot floor and the dealer wasn't sure if it would fit. Said there was a handling fee of 20% on returns.

Thanks

My next door neighbour bought one for his vrs from titan covers. I liked it so much we ordered one for when the new car arrives. He has a lab and a retriever, both shed hair like crazy and not a single hair in the boot or mark on the bumper when it's removed. The boots are apparently laser measured then the covers cut to fit.

I've got it. It works on my VBF in both positions, so without VBF you should be fine, since I am under the impression that a car without VBF it just like one with VBF in the upper position. It does the job well. It protects the inside, even if you put down the back seats, and since it is split in two it will even cover the back seat if you only put down one of them. Though it's a bit fiddly taking it out and adjusting. It's got the two sides (felt and harder plastic) which makes it useful.

The bumper coverflap works just fine as well since it covers a very large area, the edge and even lower. But only if you use it. I have two scratches in the bumper (just on the edge) as the passengers we were shuffling around insisted on putting their suitcases in the boot by themselves. So I will be looking at the rearguards bumper protection to cover that and avoid further damage. (I prefer the Skoda bumper protector but it won't protect the edge where you are most likely to damage it.)

No, a car without VBF has a lower floor than even a lowered VBF. 

Skoda do a reversible carpet/rubber boot mat which has a fold out tailgate protector. I gather it would have been in the region of £110 but I managed to get it thrown in due to some lucky circumstances.

Its pretty good but only protects the boot floor...can be folded back on itself to protect the seat backs as well though which is a nice touch.

Its good but id have never paid 100-odd quid for it.

OK Cheers. so I could put even more stuff in that one?? The VBF is standard in Luxembourg (at least on the VRS) But I can't see why the boot mat wouldn't fit a non VBF, since it makes no difference that I can see in mine in the upper or lower position.
