Front and Rear bumper protection.

Landrover Discoveries and Defenders have a range of bumper protection solutions including full replacement bumpers made of steel or aluminium. Is there anything on the market that can offer the same level of protection for L322 bumpers?

I want something that will cause more damage to the offending vehicles that deliberately push into and scrape past my bumpers when parking, than the damage I may receive. The L322 bumpers are surprisingly fragile and easy to damage.

I've thought of putting heavy duty vehicle wrap on them to protect them from scrapes but I'm not too sure it would be up to it. Is there anything better?

To put my question into perspective I'm living in Italy long term and no one here can park properly. Even Fiat 500's reverse or push into my bumpers to squeeze into non existent spaces. I park very carefully and even lower or raise the suspension depending on what's parked in front or behind me to minimise any potential damage. The vast majority of minor and serious vehicle damage I see is on bumpers.

I'm now getting quite envious of the few Discoveries and defenders I seen here with full metal bumpers.
No! I am not paranoid and I'm not on the verge of fitting chequer plate to both bumpers - It's a thought though.

My web searches have turned up nothing of use. Is there anyone out there with a sensible suggestion?

Nothing sensible

Buy a defender
leave car in garage
carry heras fence in the boot
don't leave car unattended
employ a parking attendant

JAYBOY. That's not such a bad idea.
I could get one made up for the front and back bumper out of tubular steel and have them powder coated matt black so they are discreet as possible.
I've had practical Disco's for a long time but I want to keep my Rangie as long as possible.
