I think he covers your area too.
The contact tel no for another Chipsaway guy who is based in Battersea is 07796 178 808. I, for the life of me, cannot recall his name. But his initials are L.L! The name sounded Chinese to me!
He is Chinese and his name is Lyming Loo!
Can you ask him to do Kev's finger nails too!! :laugh:

Found it on a link that was previously posted re Audi TTRS project car.
They seem to use it on all their cars and swear by it.  "Stones bounce off the paint", allegedley.....
No prices on the website though

This is a 3M system which is like cling film.
Not my cup of tea.
Quite expensive if you want the whole car done.
Goes yellow at the edges especially on a white car.

Hi MAW.

I did not have the rear diffuser fixed because it is better for me to change the part which I will this Saturday. The costs are the same, approx £60.

I spoke to and met with Tony Daher, as he was in my area fixing a white Mini Cooper's front bumper. The job he had just completed was truly superb. He had sprayed the whole bumper perfectly! I was really impressed. He is car mad and loves the Golf GTi! :smiley:

Stick with him and don't go to the Chinese guy (overpriced) or anyone else. Tony Daher's charges are very, very reasonable and he is a very nice man. He will come to your area in Wandsworth. I spoke to him about you. 

Hope this is of help and all the best.

AM.

Phone No - Tony Daher, Chipsaway, 07736 887 000

That's quite odd, a few people now have said about stone chips on door handles.

I had one on the passenger door handle, sticks out quite a bit.
