Are there any cars today with real bumpers that you wouldnt worry about parking up against a bollard, or wouldnt worry if someone nudged in a car park?
The ones where the paint doesnt fall off if a shopping trolley passes withn a millimetre?

Landrover defender is the only one i can think of

Even the Ka ended up with body coloured bumpers at the end of its life. My wifes bottom of the range poverty spec panda has body coloured bumpers, my poverty spec micra has body coloured bumpers, everything has body coloured bumpers.

Only currently sold cars with plastic bumpers I can think off are the lifestyle hardcore off roaders such as;

Skoda Octavia Scout



Fabia Scout



Volvo XC70

I don't think any of those would qualify as a real bumper. The Lada Niva has dampened bumpers!

^^ Good call. You can even still buy a new one here

Actually, in Italy and France the bottom spec Panda doesn't even have body coloured bumpers.
