The bumper is one of the protruding parts of the car, therefore, it is most often subject to mechanical effects of any external factors. You need to protect the bumper of your car so that you don't have to spend money on buying a new one every time.
Necessary
- - a set of parking sensors;
- - tools;
- - soap solution;
- - building hair dryer;
- - plastic spatula;
- - rubber bands for the bumper.
Instructions
Step 1
Install a set of parking sensors - devices that show on a small screen the position of your car relative to other objects. The price of such a kit varies between 2-6 thousand rubles. Different models differ from each other in the set of functions and the number of sensors. Currently, such a system can be installed in absolutely any car. Also, many parking sensors have the ability to connect to a regular on-board computer. After installation, the system will warn you with a signal if the distance between the bumper and the obstacle reaches the specified range.
Step 2
Install the "bumper guard" if you have an SUV or crossover. This metal structure is attached from below to the base of the vehicle. It protects not only the bumper, but also the crankcase. In the automotive market, you can find a wide range of different "kenguryatniks" and choose the model that will best cope with the protective function on your car. Installation can be done by yourself, as it is very simple. If you are not confident in your abilities, then it is worth contacting specialists.
Step 3
Cover the bumper with a transparent protective film. Such a film will protect the bumper from small chips and scratches that often appear during operation. Also, the film can save the bumper from cracking with a small impact. The spoiled film can be replaced periodically and thus keep the appearance of the machine in its original form. Such a film is applied very simply. Wash your car thoroughly. Apply a layer of soapy water. Peel off the protective layer from the film and place it with the adhesive side on the bumper. With a special plastic spatula, slowly begin to iron the entire surface relief, while simultaneously heating the film with a building hair dryer. You need to move from the center to the edges in order to expel all the soda from under the film. Then let the bumper dry. Particularly large bubbles can be carefully pierced with a thin needle.
Step 4
Glue the rubber pads to the bumper. They will damp in a minor collision. Gum is very easy to stick. Degrease the bumper. Peel off the protective layer from the rubber bands. Glue them carefully and iron them carefully. Such an innovation will protect your bumper, but spoil the overall appearance of the car a little.
