Hi All,

One of labs is getting a little clumsy when jumping out of the boot, and I'm a little concerned that the bumper is going to get scratched.

Getting rid of the lab isn't an option, so I've been considering getting a bumper protector. I've seen an OEM part for £60 on ebay. They look easy enough to fit, but how easy would it be to remove it just in case I can't stand the look of it? They are attached by sticky pads I think.

I'm pretty sure it's a case of heating it up with a hairdryer to remove, if it's anything like the one I fitted to my old Audi they just go on with a soapy water mix. There's no actual adhesive used.

The BMW ones are seriously overpriced at 60 quid.

I just use a cheap picnic blanket in my car, with half of it tucked under the boot liner. Open the boot, fold out the blanket (soft side to the paintwork, plasticky side for the dog claws) then put it back once she's in. Covers the back of the bumper as well if the lab is that clumsy.

Gives good protection, and you don't have to have a nasty plastic bumper protector on.

I have been using a bumper guard for the last few years with my German Shepard and honestly can’t fault them. It stores away neatly inside the boot and just folds out before he jumps in / out.

It just sticks down to the inside of the boot, so can be removed easily in the future.
