Discrete corner protector

As above to stop further damage to my poor car . needs to cover a 90 degree corner of a brick wall..
if was up to me I would have one of those yellow and black rubber corner pads but Mrs wont go with that ...i need something that is a little more subtle to blend in so to speak..

May be a driving course ;-)

If access is a problem, you need to cure the cause not treat the symptoms.
Widen the gap and remove part of the wall. Anything else will bend or mark the car if you hit it.

Not possible ,been like that since 2006 ,like I said it was a split second lapse of concentration ,so I'm just looking for a corner guard I guess ,if one was fitted I would have got away with this ..

All that’s for is to help prevent door dings by giving something soft to rest the door on.

If you hit anything solid with a car, it’s going to dent or scratch.
