We all like to keep our vehicle’s paintwork looking good, but as you probably know, it’s not always that easy. Probably one of the most vulnerable areas of any car is the colour-coded area above the rear bumper. That’s because there’s sure to be a time when you have to carry awkward or large items. Items which could so easily scratch or scuff the paintwork.

Even everyday objects, such as baby buggies, tool boxes, golf clubs or the week’s groceries, could cause damage to your Toyota. If you own a dog, there’s also scratch marks from their claws to consider. Getting rid of any marks could mean professional retouching or, in the worst cases, a respray. And we all know how expensive they can be.

If you’re looking for the very best protection for your Toyota, we think the Travall Protector may just be the answer. It comes in either stylish stainless steel or ABS plastic, the identical material you’ll find in hard hats and white-water canoes. Whichever material you choose, you can be sure your Travall Protector is going to be ultra-tough, and more than capable of taking all those annoying everyday knocks.

What’s more, like all other Travall products, it’s a vehicle-specific accessory, designed just for the make, model and even year of the car you drive. So you can also rest assured that the fit will be spot on, moulding perfectly to the exact shape of your Toyota.

What’s even better is that this extremely hardwearing rear bumper guard will take just 15 minutes or so of your time to install at home. Included with your order, as well as easy-to-follow fitting instructions, you’ll get a degreasing cloth and some super-strong, double-sided tape. All you have to do is wipe the bodywork down with the cloth and attach the Travall Protector using the tape that’s on the underside. Simple as that. Of course, if your vehicle already has scratches and scrapes, this will do a great job of hiding them too.

The Travall Protectors is currently available for the Toyota RAV4.
