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.

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.
