eBay's your friend!
Buy a cheapy jigsaw, a sheet of alloy chequer plate as wide of your boot, a mild hand file, and a hand riveting gun for boshing it on! Go nuts!
Seriously though if you can't find a pre-fab one it would be relatively easy to measure up, cut + fit a chequer plate one off. The Defender boys cover their trattors in it!

For that money i'd want a new bumper. Going to order some checker plate alu myself, although Halfrauds sell it as well as sticky back.

Over a period of 2 years my 50kg German Shepherd left loads of marks / scratches on the rear bumper / sill. 
Then I discovered an exterior plastic restorer spray from Sonax.
Hey presto, a quick spray, a wipe with a paper towel and it was as good as new. Scratches just disappear as well as all the doggy marks on the inside of the rear door.
I spray the bumper regularly now and occasionally do all the plastic mouldings especially the mirror backs which become badly faded with the sun.
If you cant find Sonax use any interior dashboard / cockpit spray instead - much cheaper and less work, than any chequerplate job.

These guys will cut it to size for you. First two cuts FOC. Its then simply drill and rivet, think i'll get measuring tomorrow.

Hi all. I have access to a CNC laser machine and a CNC pressbrake.
If anybody wants anything producing in tread plate , or any material for that matter , just let me know and I'll cost it up for you.
All that i would need is a basic drawing with the dimensions of what you require.
