Need protection for newly resprayed bumpers on V70R AWD
I have just had both front and rear bumpers resprayed after having been over-confident approaching walls from both directions over the last couple of years! My mate who does my respraying (other women have a personal dressmaker - I have a paintshop guy!), wants me to put some sort of protective strip along the top of the rear bumper. I can only find very old threads on this, or bolt-on plastic kits from eBay. Anyone have any ideas?

at work we use "armour-fend" on tvr noses etc as it is a transparent film that is replaceable, you get it by the sheet and cut the shape you require. im fitting this to the bonnet edge of my v70 afrter its respray im doing next week, takes light scuffs and stone chipping very well. Gav

I had mine resprayed too and got a guard off ebay and fitted it in January, it still looks good now with just some very light scratches to the edges of it.
Available in black or silver. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Rear...item588aa7d369 They are stuck on with ready applied tape and are very well shaped to the shape of the bumper.
