I visit the city often and street parking is a must. It never fails the car behind me touches my rear bumper and the license plate screws or frames scratch my bumper. Any preventive applications for this that would look good?>

Isn't that called a hit and run technically, since they hit your car and don't leave there info when technically it's an "accident". lol

I'd go ape$ht on whoever park on the streets and touches my bumper. I'd make them pay for years through insurance.

I always hate this. Idiot people who don't know how to parallel park. I'm so paranoid now that I refuse to parallel park anywhere where the fit is tight, even though I know I can fit in just fine. I toyed with the idea of taking a towel and fixing some nail spikes on it and have it hanging off my closed trunk door with spikes lining my bumper. Then I realized I'd probably get sued. Maybe some other less dangerous attachment would be better.... Or maybe people just need to learn how to parallel park

get the bumper guards. I live in NYC and two weeks after i got the car there was a nice little nick on the back bumper. Now i have the rubber bumper guard that hangs out of my trunk and then just goes into my trunk when i leave. WORKS WONDERS!

I have seen that in Hoboken but I am too lazy....LOL

I've seen those while travelling in NYC/Boston. Looked pretty useful. But what about the front? However shall we protect the front, which is more important IMO?

I've seen retards go front and back -- bump, bump, bump, bump -- while trying to park. I always try to avoid parallel parking if at all possible.

The front lic plate protects the bumper and paint, I don't have that problem in front.

Sure, if you plan on putting a front lic plate on :p

i saw an idiot do this last week to a brand new aston martin that still had dealer plates on it. if i was the owner and hand a gun within eyeshot that person would be a goner

today I got my first front bumper scratch - the first time I had to park in the street!! WTF!!!! paint was peeled!! Argh!!! I tried rubbing compound many times, chip stick, none worked, I now covered the scratch with the white compound pretending I can't see it

hate it!!!

it's a sign to trade that POS in for a C63

Just happened to me today! The license plate bolts from some POS punctured 2 holes in rear bumper and left several scratches. I'm so pissed right now!!! Just washed the car yesterday too. The messed up part is I can see my car from my cubicle. Just missed the b@stard that did it.

Okay,
Now I know I'm not the only one who does this LOL.

I ordered the touch up marker from my dealer and the mark doesnt look as bad. it was big enough to notice but not to replace the bumper

did you mean touch up paint?

dieseldoc

Actually, the term marker is correct. Mercedes touch up paint as well as a number of other manfacturers including VW/Audi come in an easy to use marker. It makes touch ups simpler than a brush.
