GS - Rear Bumper / Trunk Plastic Trim?

[makeshiftUK]

On my QP there's a piece of black plastic trim that sticks onto the top lip of the rear bumper, covering the unsightly screw heads - am I missing a similar piece of plastic trim on my GS?

 

[safrane]

Nope

It’s actually metal and gets destroyed when you remove it to get to the bumper bolts.

I assume you have had your rear parking sensors changed?

About £35 from the usual places and comes with its own double sided tape

Rusty nuts...!

I have had 3 coupės and not had any cover.

No cover on mine, but I do have a bargain fix for your rusty nuts. Alfa to the rescue again! (they are identical and used in a few other places on the car too.)

Brilliant!

I love it when people talk about my rusty nuts. Seems far more humane to consider replacements rather than subjecting my existing cojones to a wire bristled brush... will give the ones suggested above a go!

 

[conaero]

And they are out of stock...you lot!

There must be a rusty nut (or bolt in this case) pandemic out there. They had plenty when I attended to mine

However all is not lost.....I see you can pick up a forum family pack of 100 for a bit more from Germany.

£2 each from Eurospares I see. I am considering becoming an internet nut dealer.

EBay is great for small number purchases for stuff like fixings.

In case it helps anyone, I ended up going for these @ £2 a screw: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174601016391
