plus 3 golfer Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 http://accessories.ford.com/cover-10340.html Search the part number for better internet price (maybe $60). Hatchman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchman Posted March 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thank you for the links and the info! Looking for a black plastic one the rolls over the back of the bumper. Doesn't seem to be one on the market yet. pomtrey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomtrey Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 looking for that too. i don't understand the ones that don't cover the edge; seems like insufficient coverage to me. still considering the clear one from ford, but it doesn't look rugged enough.

KAL Cmax Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) http://www.zetaproducts.net/rear-bumper-protector-fits-2013-ford-c-max.aspx This is the one I installed. It doesn't cover all of the bumper, but will hopefully protect it against most damage when I am load and unloading equipment.

Texas Flood Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Has anyone tried one of these for rear bumper protection? It is for the UK 5-door C-Max, 2010 to current model year, which looks a lot like the US C-Max. C-MaxSea 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Smith Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Has anyone tried one of these for rear bumper protection? It is for the UK 5-door C-Max, 2010 to current model year, which looks a lot like the US C-Max.Ordered one today.... spoke the folks at travall and the say it will fit.... not cheap... 66 GBP or about 110 bucks... but cheaper than a repainted bumper... ptjones 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Smith Posted June 6, 2014 Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 not bad service... 3 days to get from UK to my door step... $66gbp Looks nice... fairly hard plastic (durable)... has adhesive tape along both long edges....but none on the short ends... my only concern is the fitment on the right and left side. if you notice. in one pic I have not applied any pressure to the edge and it kind of sticks out a bit. and leaves a bit of a gap. However, if I apply pressure (pic with hand) you can see that it seems to line up and fit a bit better. So I have not stuck it on yet. I think I'm going to wait until tomorrow. I'll leave the bumper protector out in the sun tomorrow and get my heat gun up to make the edges a bit more "compliant" the grey blends in well with the paint color. but being as trim on the car is black. it might look out of place on other car colors..

Have you put in on yet? If so, how does it fit once applied? I'm still interested in this one since I've already scratched up the bumper somewhat.

Marc Smith Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Paul. I did OK...on the application. one side looks better than the other. not sure if I can pull it off and reapply. the adhesive tape is very aggressive... if I were to do it again....I'l leave the film on the rear portion of the protector to get the leading edge applied first and then pull the film off from the bottom some how... once the tape stuck tot he clean bumper its game over... Not sure how much I can do with the heat gun. don't want to melt the bumper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbov Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 I figured I'd report when it arrived, but since others are shopping, here's a link to one I ordered. It says it's made in Europe, and it offers a 2007-2010 model year and Grand C-max options, so I'm expecting the same piece as from the TravAll or other UK sites. Ironically, the seller's PayPal ID (only payment method) is Korean Auto Imports, although their web site says they're based in Phoenix. I figured it was easier buying from AZ than UK. I specifically need one with the overhang show in Marc's last pic. My bumper cover is already marred from all the furniture we've moved, including two ~10mm gouges at the edge that are still attached. They were the impetus for this purchase.

kostby Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 The Rear Paint Guards models look smooth, instead of having the repeated ∩ pattern of the Travall model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
