Rear bumper/boot protector Rx450h

[Nick W858]

My wife has just got her 2011 model back from the bodyshop today, somebody ran into her a few weeks ago resulting in the need for a new rear bumper. The car looks great now but conscious that before the bump the rear lip was badly scratched and I suspect the same will happen pretty soon unless I put some kind of protector on it. Anyone have any recommendations? Thank you.

Hi Nick

If you're talking about the top of the bumper I got a genuine Lexus protector from Lexus Birmingham.  Really good price, quick delivery and excellent service.  The protector is an easy DiY fitting job (I used masking tape to find and mark the centre of the bumper and the protector)

Lexus Birmingham have a parts shop on eBay; I've just looked the site is there http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Lexus-Birmingham-Parts but it's empty at the moment.

eBay search of the phrase "Lexus RX450h bumper protector" (without the quotes) showed this as second down in the list of results

Yep, keep looking on eBay. Different Lexus dealers will put them up from time to time.

Also check Lexus Parts Direct which I believe is Lexus Swindon aka fish bros

I have to lift my wife's disability scooter into the back of my 450H, and to prevent damage to the bumper scratchwise, I placed on old blanket in the rear with one edge tucked under the boot  floor flap.

I just  pull it out and let it drop down over the whole of the bumper when mover the scooter in or out of the car.

The plan is to fit a hoist when I'm not able to life it myself, but consider this my visit to the gym.
