Dogconker Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I've got a black plastic one (official Subaru) it's about £85 from Subaru, very heavy duty and goes well with the White car. Problem for me with the clear one is even the best ones get grubby around the edges as stuff sticks to the glue at the edges. Metal ones look a bit strange unless you e already got metal bits on your car such as the under tray etc. I can say though that a guard is essential if you do want your precious paint scratched by the dog or anything you try to put in the boot. Also handy for putting you feet on to tie your shoe laces Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dug Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I agree with DC you deffo need one it's essential looks great and as said stops all the scratches mine is also gen Subaru one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a bad price at £85, and the dealer even fitted it for me for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I still like my stone chip guard at the front. That and the bumper guard were the only extras I have. I haven't seen another XV with the stone chip guard. Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can take some close ups if you need them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Got a gen Subaru one on my impreza - on the last hatch we had the area gets caught really easily and now with dog that jumps in and out of boot it was a must have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcothio Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 totally agree with most, a must to have. Subaru OEM looks good, recommended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xander Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Got one on the hatch. I probably wouldn't have got one myself but it came on it and has been handy and sure I would have scratched the bumper by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dogconker Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 I got mine from a dealer, it cost about £80 or £100 I can't exactly remember. if you've ordered it best get it now because they'll probably fit it free, though it's not difficult. if you don't have a rear bumper protector definitely get one of those as a priority that will get scratched to hell in no time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
