2008 Exclusive Boot Strip

[ohdeariboughtac5]

I reversed into a pole and the bumper is fine as it flexed but the chrome strip along the top of the boot is crazed.

Apart from $$$$$$$ from a dealer, anyone know where I can get a replacement??

cheers

You will need to remind us, is your car a 2004 to 2008 or 2008 on C5 and then is it a hatchback/estate/saloon/tourer.

OOps sorry, its the newer version 2008>. The estate exclusive doesn't appear to have the chrome strip, I saw a couple of estates being broken online and coulodnt see the chrome strip.

So from above, I am guessing your car is a saloon and you want the chrome strip that is on the top of the bumper since the parts diagrams do not show anything on the boot lid - if not please advise. If so the part no. is 7452WG but a search did not find any so it is going to be a dealer only part. There is nothing shown for the tourer bumper.

 

As an alternative ebay has bumper protector strips in stainless steel but at around £50 they are probably similar to the original chrome strip.

I thought that too Paul but they are quite different. The strip has an angle on it...trust the French...so a simple replacement strip wont fit, It'll stick out. Also its curved at the end. I contacted a scrappy but he wanted to sell the whole rear bumper.....for $$$$.
