My Edition 30 has arrived - with PHOTOS!

[TagnuT]

Look like Dunlop Sport Maxx to me........

The ones I have seen have all had Dunlop's on, which IIRC are pretty good tyres TBH.

Also Illyun, have you found a stone chip protection pack yet? I've looked into this but not come up with much other than ventureshield but I'm not convinced how invisible it is??

Are you getting seat covers with the wooden knobbly bits??

Finally... I assume you have got Autoglym Lifeshine for less than VW would offer it at? What is waxoyl?

That link on the home pc was for Armourfend and I think Paintshield use the same 3M material.

sweet ride, bet it will shift! i must admit though i dont like the wheels, the old style 18" wheels suit it better! but hey, who cares! lol

Did a bit more looking into this. Armourfend seems to get some stick, and i was quoted £400 to supply and fit Paint Shield to cover wing mirrors and everything in front of them. Would really like to see ca car with it on in the flesh.

Yes thats right... I've got three questions really.
1.  Does the shield change the appearance of the car for the worse?
2.  Will it 'yellow' over time
3.  Is it easily removable without damage to the paintwork?  Even after a number of years?

If the answer to the last two questions is yes, then I will go and get a bonnet bra.

1. Supposed to be best on dark cars, they don't recommend it for white so we're ok.
2. Apparently not
3. Yes, but only by a technician.

Trouble is, these are all the official answers, not met anyone who has done it or seen a protected car in the flesh.

Thats exactly the problem.... not sure whether to trust their word for it unless they sign a warranty clause with a significant financial penalty - probability = 0 on that I think    However, I am sure that there are many owners who have very expensive cars out there that use stonechip protection and have been doing so for years.  I think I will do a bot more research in that area.  OR if the company responsible can show me verifiable case studies of cars that have had this for years then that would be ok.

I went to Halfords (yes i do on occassions ) bought the Armourfend stuff - halfords version and stuck it to the back bumper of my wifes car to stop the dog scratching it. Very easy to apply with the supplied solution, has not yellowed over the last year and you would have to look very close to notice it. Easy and a lot less than having to pay £400 for some snotty YTS chap to do it!
Go on be a dare devil and give it a go - and if you make a mess of it just peel it off - this is where your wifes hair dryer comes in handy!

Whats the cost Ollie?
