I am old school, yes those painted bumpers looks nice when untouched,but what do you guys do when they make contact with others. I have seen so many park by feel drivers it drives me crazy.
I have an old BMW with rubber firmly bolted on to make the first contact. Anyone with suggestion(s) to remedy or retrofit?

I personally like those thick rubber strips that look corrugated cardboard. Very classy. ![Smile](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/smile.gif)
