YRV bumper protectors

The bumper protectors look quite good but don't actually protect the bumpers much. If for instance you kiss a wall with the front bumper as you swing the car round the bit that hits the wall is the extreme front lower corner of the wheelarch!

Nice. To combat that problem

Nice.

To combat that problem I bought and fitted bumper mouldings from a 2008 Subaru Impreza:

YRV bumper protectors

Great idea Jon and they look very good. Unfortunately too late for our YRV's scuffed bumpers! Now my wife's, the YRV is parked in the garage and my Nissan Note is the risk taker in the car port, which has an angled entrance. The expensive spot light surrounds are the vulnerability, so I'll look at the Subaru bits for that.

To protect the door edges on the YRV against hitting the wall I fitted Daihatsu's own solution and they have been brilliant. I've fixed some rubber pads on the side of the car port to protect the Nissan's driver's side door edges, and that can't fail.

I also fitted the Daihatsu stainless steel sill protectors on the YRV and they were a complete disaster. Water and muck trapped underneath the protectors caused surface rust and it cost Daihatsu dearly to have all the sills resprayed. The lessons that are learned!

Hi Tony. Sorry to hear about

Hi Tony. Sorry to hear about the scuffs. I ended up buying the Entry guard foils for my YRV which are an adhesive sticker which personally suit the car better than the metal entry foils.
They are black with the YRV logo in silver.
