Has anyone tried one of these http://www.rearguards.co.uk/index.php?a ... jnh0b48831

or got a better solution for protecting the rear bumper?

I actually bought one but haven't fitted it yet. Was thinking of getting it sprayed body colour and then fitting. I bought the black one for a black car. Had second thoughts after I bought it and it's just been sitting in my cupboard. I got it in winter too and it recommend fitting at 20 plus degrees or something like that.

I use a grip mat, just type it in Amazon.

I just lay it over the bumper when loading.

Offers far more protection than one of the guards you are contemplating

I have used this RGM rear bumper protector on our Mini and am very pleased with the quality and fit. Personally, for the Macan I would use a detailer to get PPF fitted to the area. Just a thought?

Yes - this is a good option. I did it on my Alpina and it protected it perfectly, and I am having it done to my GTS next week. XPEL is the toughest PPF to use.

I just use the picnic blanket that's already in the boot, it just gets flopped over the edge when needed.

I had a local guy put a Smartskin clear wrap on mine. They have templet cut sections for most high end cars but I wanted the wrap to cover right over the bumper down to the number plate so he made a one off special. Perfect and virtually invisible.

Just to add to the thread. Anyone in the north *Yorkshire. A detail company comes highly recommended for adding a bumper/lip XPEL cover to stop scratches etc.. (not a full rear bumper, just the overhanging lip of the bumper/bootlid)

the cost is reasonable as well. £42 fitted. This is the XPEL ultimate self healing stuff.

Do they do walk-in? Do i need to prebook?

You need to book - they are often very busy.

I have had rear bumper, front and half bonnet done by Nick and his team. They are very good - so very busy!
