E39 Rear bumper trim

[nickchin1308 0]

Hello guys,

This afternoon, some Fkin moron decided to back into my car n gap it

It caused some scratches and a little chip on the rear bumper trim. Some rubbing compound should be able to remove those scratches i think.

Question is on the black trim along the rear bumper there is a little metal clip thing that used to clip on however now there is a little gap n i m worried it might caused some rust.

Some pics:

Before

Now

Any ideas guys on how to fix this? I was thinking about changing the whole black trim thing but where can i find that?

Cheers

Nick

It wont cause rust mate.

The little thing that clipped over the top is just to hide the joins in the trim. One of mine have come off also, they break easily, maybe its a good time to look at painting the trim to match the car?

I see, more relieved now. Yea i thought about spraying it too ages ago but IMO i think the black line make the car look more 'sporty'

Only colour E39 that looks good with painted trim is silver/grey. Could be time for an M5 bumper though! lol
