The professionally installed stuff, any ideas on price and is it worth doing-can you see it is on the car, say if I got my Escos bonnet done would you notice?

 

Nope, but ive seen it done on various cars, almost invisible and very impressive, works soo well.
250quid i think to get it done.

 

its a bit ghetto, but halfords do a bumper kit, which would probably do the first 12-18" of your bonnet

 

guy in our local group has had it done to the front of his Esc Cos.

I couldnt find any pictures on his website, but if you drop a pm to Gavin E-Cos (I think its his username) then he might be able to point you in the direction of some.

 

Thanking you

 

I had the armourfend kit fitted to my FocusRS before I picked it up.

The edges show up quite clearly if you don't clean the polish off when you apply it. So I have spent many a time with a cotton bud cleaning it off.

I think it has saved the paintwork from chips, as I only have one, which just happens to be further up the bonnet than the film extends.

I believe that Armourfend do most modern cars, and you can buy it as a kit, but it is quite difficult to apply, which is why I paid for it to be done.


Here is their web page, but it is based in the US. The UK arm is in Essex.

Someone has had it done to his cossie on RSOC bb and has posted about it. Is a recent thread too.

 

OK I'm off there many thanks to all

 

looks good but the film dents and chips and then looks worse than a paint chip

 

and if you havent got that good paint.. when it comes to remove the film as it does discolour over time....


it takes the paint with it!

 

I have done a bit of research and it does seem there are various qualities of this film and good and bad fitters-if you are interesed go here as they seem to be the best Http://www.xpeleu.com/why-paintshield.jsp and have a quick look.
I have found the guy on the RSOC BB and will have a look at his car at a show this year and will then make my mind up-fingers crossed as I am fed up painting the front of my car every few years

 

Matt the guy at the Hampshire group with the Focus RS and Series 1 RS turbo has it on his Focus. Cant think of his dam name now though..

 

He'll be at Central on the Shropshire Group stand.

 

cheers
