I think thisdeserves its own thread!
Has anyone any experience with clear protective film? There are quite a few vulernable places the Kugas paintowrk could suffer, such as the rear bumper and rear door sills... why did Ford only make front scuff plates!?!?
Let usknow if the bumper bib works for the shopping please - need to know if it folds away easily - can't have it flapping about when you're driving your cool motor!!!
That was the main thing I wasnt impressed about... It doesnt really seem to want to fold away anywhere neatly! There is a kind of soft felt on the underside to prevent your paintwork from being scratched, but this also acts as a magnet for bits, so you have to bat it and wipe your hand acros it each time otherwise it would probably have the opposite effect of what it's for!!! I have a boot liner and this helps hold the bumper bib in place.
It is a great idea... I just think it could be a bit better. (might just be me being fussy!)
I bought one of these dog hammocks (the type that attaches from the front seat headrests to the back ones)from a pet shop for£10 to try out as there is nothing really on the market for us Kugans : re bumper protection...it is made from a waterproof/goretex type material in black & has 4 handle/straps clipped together atboth ends... both handles go around the rear headrests (you can tighten the strapsso hammock pulls tight against back of rear seats& the restcovers the whole boot with approx 12" - 14"overhang which i simply fold inwards........ whenthe wife goes shopping (shopping trolleys from ****) she pulls the folded bit out & this covers the top & back end of the bumper...as this is black the same colour as the car it doesn't look too obvious !.... this material would only help avoid against nicks/scratches .... nothing too heavy duty !
The dog hammock sounds like a great alternativeto all the expensive custom made stuff, but the thing that caught my eye in your post was - 'us Kugans' - love it - sounds like we are from the planet Kug!!!! na noo na noo
