Maybe worth a go for the price?

I'm picking up my Azure coupe on Friday and its virtually chip less, I thought this might be a cheap way to protect the bumper. Loads better than the £400ish from paintshield...

Not seen anyone with it, but I bet its a biatch to fit and if you mess up it will look shite, plus when it comes time to take it off it will probably end up doing more damage to the paintwork than not having it in the first place.

 

I maybe completely wrong but im always wary of this type of stuff, especially from flea bay

Hmmm... looks like no one has done it then.

I've been quoted £400 from ventureshield but that a lot of resprays to the bumper

Maybe i should just have a go at this!

 

How hard can it be!

I had this done to my Z earlier in the year, but by Paintshield. Watched them do part of it and it looks a bitch to do. The guys said the Z was one of the worst cars to work on. They made a great job though, but even they took about 4 hours ! (just for the bumper)

[goatboy]

4 hours!

how much was just the bumper if you don't mind me asking?

[craigo]

its a while back now but i seem to think it was about the £200 mark. There is a discount though via the forum.
