Hi i have a red monte carlo estate and am looking for a protector for the rear bumper as have a dog that get in the boot and dont want to scratch the paint looking on superskoda they do a gloss black one has anyone used these and if so do they mark easily? Thanks

Hi Red Rover,

 

I have a Skoda Hatchback in Silver. I have fitted a genuine Skoda black rear bumper protective panel.

It is a matt black plastic. It has not got marked yet but the dog doesn't get to go in this car. ( yet? )

Would a photo help?

 

Thanks AG Falco.

 

Yes cheers it was more the gloss one i wondered if would scratch but would like to see how yours looks

This is the Superskoda matt black one. A bit mucky, though.

Peter, how does the panel fit? Is it just a push-to-fit type of thing?

 

Stick on, there's sticky strips on the back. Mark up position on bumper first with a pencil then put on carefully because it's not easy to move after. The weather needs to be warmish or warm up everything first as the strips don't stick well if it's cold.

One comment: I have this same protector. It was warm when I mounted it, but a month ago I notice that the ends had come lose, and were rubbing against the corners of the boot itsel. It had chipped the paint away from the contact.

Now I have added some contact glue to keep the bumper protector in place, and fixed up the paint chips.
