You can also buy 3M clear adhesive plastic strip in various lengths and widths, then cut it to the size you want. Have a look on amazon.

My car already had one on when I bought it so I don't knowhow easy or difficult they are, but I can say they do a great job so I have no qualms about saying yes, go for that one.

might look terrible, want something that does not go manky after a few washes

which one? the black plastic strip ?

just got a quote of 50 euro in local dealers so seems like a no brainer

prices for some rx gen 3 parts in ireland seem to be great value,

Yes, that one.

€50 is an excellent price

Another vote here for the black plastic strip. Mine was fitted when I bought the car used, it's doubtless saved the bumper from marks and damage where I've been loading heavy boxes, furniture etc in and out during our recent house move.

excellent, i have just got the car back today from a small =bump from a neighbour and i got the back bumper sprayed, so its fresh and want to keep it that way, so i will order the black strip tomorrow, i have a silver car so hopefully looks ok.
