Bumper protection

Is there anything that can be done do give bumpers a little protection from the elements and other drivers using them as parking detectors? I was hoping to keep them shiny for a while…

Good coat of wax, and park well away from the crowds or curb stops.

Xpel paint protection film may be your best option and it’s removable if it gets tired, the technology now makes it pretty much invisible and many super car owners have this done on all front facing panels.

i can recommend Creative FX in Bromley, ask for Sean Davis the boss man and tell him Neil from VW sent you and he will look after you

That's an interesting option. Looks expensive though.

Any idea of the sort of costs? Bumpers are quite a complex shape.

Over spray it in clear Plasticoat.  

Sorry I don’t know the costs but these guys wrap very complex Super cars so I would hope some bumpers wouldn’t pose them a problem, give them a call as I’m sure they could quote you an approx price if you send them images as it’s all about starting condition but your bumpers look tidy so shouldn’t be an issue.

I'll give them a bell tomorrow. Bumpers are fresh from a respray so I guess now would be the time.

What is Plasticoat?

Plasti-dip . but I would let the paint harden for a couple of weeks first.
