In order to secure the rear bumper, an auxiliary part is attached to it - an amplifier or a metal plate. Due to this, in a collision, the car body is practically not deformed, since the protective part takes on the entire blow. The cover plate is a profile made of stainless food steel. It completely repeats all the shapes and bends of the car, so it perfectly complements its exterior. Most often, pads and amplifiers are made to order, depending on the structural features of the car body, but since such a part has been on the market for a relatively long time, many different models have already appeared that suit one or another car.
An overlay on the rear bumper prevents damage to the paint and varnish with which the car body is covered. After all, when loading various materials and things into the trunk over time, scratches and abrasions appear in the rear bumper area, which look extremely unaesthetic. If the machine was previously protected by the necessary metal plate, then repainting it again is not required. It is also worth noting that in the event of an accident, it is the bumper amplifier that takes the brunt. If the collision is not strong, then the part remains intact. Otherwise, the amplifier itself may be damaged, but the rear bumper of the car retains its original appearance.
Installation of this element on the rear bumper of the machine must certainly be done by professionals in this field. Mounting methods can be a whole multitude and they depend both on the car model and on the type of lining itself. Often, stainless steel food parts are attached to the body with bolts and nuts, so they hold for a long time and reliably.
If a lighter metal is used as a lining, then its installation is even faster using bolts or technical glue.
Amplifiers and pads that protect the rear bumper are often made of soft plastic. Most often, such accessories are sold complete with protective plates on the machine thresholds. Even an inexperienced motorist can attach such a detail using technical glue or double-sided adhesive tape. However, plastic nozzles and amplifiers for thresholds are not as reliable and durable as their steel counterparts. Plastic parts often need to be changed, they are also not able to take on most of the shock if a major accident occurs.
When mounting the protective nozzles on the rear bumper of the machine, it is important to attach them as tight as possible so that moisture and other debris do not accumulate under them. Therefore, glue often serves as auxiliary fixing material, even if bolts are used to mount metal amplifiers. It helps to fill all the free space between the body itself and the trim, and also provides a more reliable adhesion of materials. The process of installing the amplifier on the thresholds does not take much time and does not require special skills.
