Title: Bumper Trims?
Post by: Anthony in Madrid on 16 September 2011, 00:07:30

Hi guys  ;)
How's everyone gearing up? Ready for the weekend?
I have a question...

In the photo below I have red arrowed the parts that I'm confused what they are called?

(http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/ee508/aschneider2010/cominhomephoto01.jpg)

Are they called "Bumper Trims"?????
Are they standard on P/FL, Mini-FL? (Mines the car in the photo Pre-facelift)
Can I buy them separately or has anyone got a couple of them for sale?

Thanks a bunch
Best regards
Anthony :y

They do come as separate items, they're just clipped in between the main bumper & the coloured bit. I'd call them bumper trims too.
Not sure how well a pair might travel to Madrid though, they're quite easily damaged as they're quite thin.  :y :y

I think that they are the bits behind the bumpers ie the bit that would take the impact in a low speed bump.

What's wrong with those fitted to your car? Dented?  :-/ I replaced the long straight trim from the middle of the rear bumper with a new one from the dealer, it was around £20 IIRC if that's any help  :)

Used to be called Rubbing Strips in my day (long long ago though) and were meant to take the scrapes instead of the more expensive panels. ;)
Any dealership will show you the screen with an exploded diagram and you can take the part numbers from that.
I do it regularly when I need a part myself, as I suspect many other oofers do.  ;)
