Has anyone had the protective clear plastic film that is fitted to some of the High end cars applied to their car.

I think it is usually fitted to the front of the car and halfway up the bonnet also just in front of the rear wheels.

I wondered if our car has the template already made and how much it costs.

Cheers

Tony

IIRC

£40 from Will B for the rear wheel arch sets.

Tony, Jossler's had this done over most of front end, & it looked very good. I think he did post something about it, try PM'ing him ?

Josler has used Venture Tape. If you do a search for that, you should find it. I think he just put 2 small strips on his roof stowage compartment though. Just enough to stop the roof damaging the paintwork. It is very unobtrusive. You have to look closely to see it.

, i know Jossler had his done, cause he had a respray not so long ago, & also he was telling us at the Red Bull factory tour, & i'm also pretty sure he had all the front end done as well.

I've been on Armourfend website and asked for a quote and nearest fitting centre.

Cheers

Guys...

I've had venture tape (aka Rhino protect) fitted to the VX and have to say i'm very impressed. Before having it done i was picking up loads of stone chips but the front of the car looks untouched now. While the guy was fitting it i talked about getting the hood stowage lid done on the elan and he said that he would do the whole of the lid and you wouldn't see any lines/joins. cos your cutting the whole sheet you'd have to pay the same price as what Josler has had done. Hope that makes sense.

Frankly if i was having the bits done in front of the rear wheels i would do it myself with the venture tape kit but i would have to have it resprayed first cos it looks like a dogs breakfast at the mo. fitting requires a cleanish environment and water with mild detergent in it.

I reakon that we could get a group buy on these kits - do you want me to enquire?
