Thanks Halford. Maybe it will be OK. Or the bits not quite covered would be less noticeable underneath the protector.

Dealership aren't willing to just order a set in to see how it fits - got to buy them first. Times are hard I guess for car dealers. ;)

Many thanks to everyone for your kindness and help. Just got to figure out now when I can spare the car for a day.

I'll post another pic when it is done.

Cheers,
Padz

the dealer will charge you a fortune ........ it really is easy to DIY - come with double sided tape already attached, you simply peel and stick - get yourself some alcho wipes, spectacle cleaner stuff will do and make sure it's totally grease free. ( offer it up a few times before you peel the paper off so you're confident on positioning them) ..

got mine from www.suzuki-shop.co.uk

Why don't you use this as an opportunity to rip your bumpers off and fit steel replacements you can actually use as bumpers! It's ridiculous having a bumper that suffers that much damage from a gate.

Fit steel ones and the gate will come off worse next time.

have a look in the local yellow pages for a chips away franchise
they'll come to your house and fill and spray that for less than buying the trims

we had a local body shop do my sons punto bumper for £80 and the scratches we much deeper than that

Thanks for the thoughts folks. I'll sleep on it and then make my mind up. I really like the look of the bumper protectors so maybe I'll get chipsaway to repair the scuff and then get protectors fitted. I don't want a steel bumper though - I'm a girl!

Thanks again for replying with suggestions and not laughing at me too much.

My jimny is 50/50 owned (she thinks), she won't drive it though as she hates it. In other words can't drive with me in the car. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I'll leave her to the Seat Ibiza :laugh:
My jimny is only a toy and only used for playing :silly:



Ohh and any dents or scratches send then my way, they all add to the character, not 1 panel is straight! :woohoo: :woohoo:
