Default Looking for a rear bumper protector

I found this on Amazon. Does anyone know a source for other similiar items? I think I would prefer black rubber/plastic.

Thanks

There are several options. I purchased a black ABS protector from NGP Racing. Details in the link.

If it's just protection from light scratches, then using the clear bra film will work well...

Or you can also Plastidip/paint that piece you have linked

Or, you can go to eBay and there are many other styles available.

The bumper protectors on ebay are all listed for 2010-2011 Q5. Can anyone confirm these will also fit a 2012?

I don't believe there have been any changes in the bumper, but better safe than sorry.

Default Bumper Protector

We have a 12' 3.2 black (s-line) and I ordered the stainless steel one from amazon. I can tell you it fits quite well and adds not only protecting values to the car, but also visual appeal...it looks great.

Here is the big thread on the protectors: https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho...ghlight=bumper

I have to say the SS one I bought show some scratches but my wife and I are pretty careless getting the luggage out of the car when we travel (and we travel a lot). So far the scratches do not bother me. They are minor and I would rather the protector get messed up rather than the bumper. I know if I had done the 3M clear bra type of protection it would be messed up by now.
