Ginge !

My fiesta has 1500 miles on the clock but already got 8 stone chips on the n/s front bumper

Has anyone discovered ways to avoid them as my car is red and stone chips are black so looks like dirty spots

I'm not really that fussed as I'm buying another next year but would like a way to abound if I could

Is there a film I could use that ain't as obvious ect

dont drive up the arse of other cars, especially 4wd or rwd

Ginge !

I don't mean driving styles,,, and stone chips are on passenger side which means is middle lane drivers spitting up stones as I'm passing them

More thinking ways to help reduce them

We do a clear protection film that's virtually invisible and is designed to stop stonechips.
Have a look in your area for vehicle wrappers, anyone that uses hexis or Arlon products can supply it. Wether they can fit it or not is a different story as its a wet application but a couple of calls should find someone .

bonnet bra? or for something more discreet looking you can get clear vinyl to stick other the desired part of your car, i think some companies make them pre cut to suit your make and model of car.

How much is it for fitting to a front bumper ?

brad

I haven't fitted any for a while but iirc it's around the Ł100-Ł150 for bumper and front edge of bonnet but it really depends on what product you pick. Material ranges from Ł20 per metre up to Ł60 per metre.
You will probably need 2 metres for your front end.

Fitting in the video looks easy,,,,, so if i attempted it there would be creases and bends all over lol

if you limit your speed to say 10 mph you will be fine....

I don't so my toy has some stone chips.... it is enjoyed far to much not to!

Ginge !

It's only cause its a red car i can see them,, the cossie had loads and my impreza has a fair few too

Maybe I'm just being a tart about it

brad

I can garuntee it
It's a right arsehole to fit

got the same problem mate, red car and loads of stone chips all over the shop

anywhere local that can do it?

or even better, if they are local and can do it i'll get mine done at the same time as ginge and we can BOTH get a discount

Ginge !

I'm up for discount,,, I'd like the chrome surrounds on the windows covers with gloss vinyl too

brad

I can recommend a very good company right darn sarf but can't help up in lundin!
A de-chrome is a piece of winkle and shouldn't cost you too much to do as it wont use a lot of material ( less than a metre = 17-20 quid + labour)
