Rear bumper corner / Checker plate

Post by AshR1 » Tue Feb 03, 2015 8:56 pm

i was after some checker plate bits to go where the rear bumper protector bits go on the sammy, as they are pricey and i cant be bothered to make my own, im now looking at the original bumper protector bit does anybody know where i can get them from at all? or have any for sale (both sides)?

Or have any options of what others have done to fill in the blank space, as i dont really like the look of it :/ and im trying to tidy it up ready for sale in the next month or so.

Thanks

Why would you want them? they offer little protection and just act as a moisture trap speeding up corrosion.

Plus chequer plate is damn ugly :lol:

Are you on about the little recessed bit of panel behind the old bumper or the whole rear wing?
