Paint Protective Film

[Atari Boy 11]

I want to protect the bonnet of my 205 from stone chips and I am considering fitting some stone protection film. Does anyone have any experience of any particular brands or how hard it is to apply oneself?

 

Many thanks

I'd imagine its just reasonably thick Vinyl, in which case it wont be too bad to do a 205's bonnet, most can be applied wet which gives makes it a lot easier to get on without bubbles and creases.

 

Ask AdamB, he does vinyl graphics for a living and has wrapped his 306 Rallye v6 a few times amongst other things, he can give you an idea of the costs and how long things last.

he is on here from his 205 days but I don't think he visits too often, he is a regular on the 306gti6 forum.

you dont want to use thick vinyl as it will not let uv light through.

 

so when yu remove it you will have two diffrent shades of paint.

 

venture sheild is what you want.......

A friend has Amourfend on his Elise http://www.armourfend.co.uk/

 

It didn't help him when he put it into a barrier in the snow!!!

I also had armourfend on both my Elises - works well and doesn't look too bad. On the Elise you don't even cover the whole bonnet and even with the line it looked good.

 

I'd imagine a simple shape like a 205 bonnet would work well.
