Chrome rear bumper protectors — Page 34

A bumper protector is a strip made of stainless steel or ABS plastic that is stuck onto the top surface of the rear bumper. That’s exactly where the paint gets scratched by bags, suitcases, and other items when you load the trunk. The protectors in this section are model-specific—made for a particular model, model years, and body type, mostly by Carmos and Omsa Line (stainless steel) and EuroCap and Esa (ABS). There are also protectors for the trunk sill, the bumper face and edge, for the front bumper, and for fog lights.

Types of bumper protectors

How to choose a rear bumper protector

• Model, years, and body type. Protectors for sedan, hatchback (HB), and wagon/estate (SW) are not interchangeable—bumpers are different, so the body type is listed in the product name. For example, Skoda Octavia liftback and wagon require different protectors.
• Dimensions. Most protectors list length and width at the center and at the ends—say, 100 cm × 5.5 cm or 152 cm × 16 cm. Compare it to the flat section of your bumper: the protector only covers its own area, so the size determines whether it will hide scuffs near the edges.
• Bumper shape. Pay attention to protrusions, steps, and the area near the trunk lock—product photos show how the protector follows the contour.
• Equipment. If your bumper has parking sensors or cutouts, make sure the protector doesn’t block them.

Stainless steel or plastic?

A steel protector is tougher and can be polished; it’s often narrower and shorter. A plastic protector is lighter, often covers nearly the full bumper width, and is available in black or matte finishes that match non-gloss bodywork. Omsa Line is Italian stainless steel from a Turkish manufacturer with precise fitment; Carmos is Turkish steel with the widest model range.

Most protectors are self-adhesive: the tape is already applied or included, so there’s no need to drill the bumper. A protector only covers scratches within its outline and won’t fix cracks or dents—so a damaged bumper should be repaired first.
