I have just found out that the Mokka may have what are called self-repairing bumpers.
This from an Opel Mokka site:-
"A major advantage of Opel technology is that in low speed impact
deformation damage is minimised,reducing repair costs. For example the
bumpers are self-repairing with impacts at under 4 km/h."
and this from a Vauxhall Mokka site:-
"A major advantage of Vauxhall technology is minimised deformation damage
in low speed impacts, keeping down repair costs. The new Vauxhall Mokka
also meets Research Council for Accident Repairs (RCAR) standards to
reduce damage and deformation in low-speed collisions, reducing
insurance costs in several European countries."
Can anybody confirm this? and has anybody had any experience of this type of bumper?
