About our range of car protection products
Life on the open road means vehicles naturally experience a bit of wear and tearbut you can fight back with our Halfords’ range of car protection solutions.
Car door protectors & bumper protectors
We’ve hand-picked what we think are the best aftermarket car protection products. Extra protection is usually needed on the places most at risk of damage – your bumpers and bodywork corners, the edges of doors, seals and sills and your wing mirrors. We even have wheel covers too to keep them in tip-top condition while they’re off your vehicle.
Wheel rim protectors & car bodywork protectors
We stock car protection solutions for any budget. Exterior bodywork protectors are easy to fit, with most simply sticking on top of your existing protectors. They provide robust paint protection, but can also guard against scrapes and bruises that can affect how your car looks - and its resale value. If your protector ever gets damaged, just drop back into your local Halfords store or shop online and replace it.
Problems with your parking? You’re not alone. We stock parking protectors from leading brands like Michelin, so you know you’re getting great quality. Online we even have an exclusive range of branded sill protectors for your Astra, Escort, Focus or Vectra.
Car exterior protection FAQs
Do wheel rim protectors work?
Yes, when fitted correctly, they can help protect your wheels from minor scuffs and kerb damage. They’re not designed for heavy impact, but they’re great for day-to-day use, especially in tight parking spots.
How to protect car exterior plastic?
Regular cleaning helps, but using a plastic trim restorer or protectant keeps it from fading, cracking, or drying out. It also brings back that clean, black finish.
Are bumper protectors worth it?
Definitely, especially if you’re often parking in tight spaces or busy areas. They help reduce scratches and scuffs that could otherwise lead to more expensive repairs.
How to install car door edge protector?
Start by cleaning and drying the door edge. Then press the protector on gently, working your way down. Most are either adhesive-backed or clip-on and can be fitted in just a few minutes. You can find a range of options at Halfords.
