Have you ever had the unpleasant suprise of finding scratches on your car's bumpers after a shopping trip in the city? I have, more than once ... lokks like not everybody have parking sensors on their cars

In order to prevent that (as long as possible) I've found these on ebay:

they stick out about 1 cm from the car's bumpers and they are painted in the same pearl white colour of my 2008.

The picture also shows the original Peugeot transparent rubber guards

I can't tell what I should be looking at.

Can you draw an arrow on the picture please.

Thanks

Hi molinari, I must have missed the point here but how does that tiny 1cm stick-on part save another car brushing against your car?

Have you a link to the ebayitem?

Al.

PS: Pearlescent White looks good.

PPS: adjusted thickness.

Allan it's 1 cm thick and prevent other car's bumpers to scratch the painting in the corners. That's a place where I got a few scratches on my former cars. I have also done the same on the rear corners (same item in black)

I can't find the ebay link right now but I'll do some investigation later today

Ah, yes. 1cm....but wouldn't this 'skin' be better on each corner?

Isn't it amazing!





PS: I've got this for all the paintwork in my door sills but I guess it would also be good on each corner:

They used it on helicopter blade edges in the Vietnam war to protect from shrapnel debris so it must be tough.

problaby yes, but those skins tend to become yellow with time.

Ah; good point.

What are the Peugeot protection cappings like? I was contemplating buying a set or alternatively getting a ventureshield kit fitted.

Hi Burty - forgive my poor English but I'm not sure what you intend with "cappings"My car has both Peugeot's scratch guard skins and door rubber stripes mounted, the latter having a limited effect, in my opinion, as they don't protect the upper part of the doors. I also doubt about the efficency of the skins, they can't protect the bumper's corners at all
