Thats not too bad a price Ollie, including a 3 hour burn in your ED30 whilst your busy on mine (with no keys)...

If you apply the body guard yourself does it affect any warranty??

Hey illyun, had a look in halfords yesterday re stone chip protection. The only stuff they sell is their own branded universal film which you cut to size, it's much cheaper but as I suspect it will be crap and impossible to fit well I'm not sure it's the best route.

Also, i found out that the film will not adhere to Lifeshine, therefore any fitter will/should claybar the front of the car to remove it. Not quite what i hoped....

Now I have no idea what I'll do!!

Hi everyone! My first post on here, have been reading various threads for ages now, and thought it was about time to join in! 
Have posted first on this thread as I particularly wanted to thank illyun for the pictures of his Ed30.  Looks fantastic and is helping me through the wait as I have a 3-door Black Ed30 waiting to be picked up on Thursday! But have not seen her yet!!
Trading in my MK4 R32 and this will be my first GTi experience!

That doesn't sound too good.  Mind you, I'd never do a DIY Halfrauds job on my Edition 30 because it will probably end up in tears.  I went to my dealer today to discuss the price of my Edition 30 - more of that in a seperate post - and while we were talking I mentioned stone chip protection and he told me that the dealer can buy stonechip protection film from VW and get it applied for the front  of my Edition 30 for around £80 which sounds like a bargain.  Not sure about the quality though as I remember asking them about this last year and they said that VW stonechip film tended to peel and yellow after time and was mainly used for the rear bumper of family saloons like the Passat... so I'm a bit suspicious one because it is so cheap and secondly because of what I was told last yer.  But its worth checking out.
