bumper

A bumper is a structure attached to or integrated with the front and rear ends of a motor vehicle, to absorb impact in a minor collision, ideally minimizing repair costs. Stiff metal bumpers appeared on automobiles as early as 1904 that had a mainly ornamental function. Numerous developments, improvements in materials and technologies, as well as greater focus on functionality for protecting vehicle components and improving safety have changed bumpers over the years. Bumpers ideally minimize height mismatches between vehicles and protect pedestrians from injury. Regulatory measures have been enacted to reduce vehicle repair costs and, more recently, impact on pedestrians.

    Non-existent after-sales repair service means I'm going to have to sell

    I've decided to get rid of my MG5 as soon as I can get it repaired. I've phoned the local MG dealership and the two separate body repair shops they use a dozen times, and visited them in person, over the last five months (since a minor accident in early September) and they can't even get me a...

    RGM Rearguards

    Has anyone fitted a RGM Rearguard to a facelift 2023 MG5? RGM only show the pre-facelift on their site and can't confirm if this one will fit the later model. The top of the bumper where it would fit looks the same but as we all know, looks can deceive!! Ta.
