armourfend

I'm a tart, can't help it - I have fresh paint on the csl front end and was thinking of doing some clear wrap panels before the next track day abuse - comments???

I know they're not to everyones tastes (awaits abuse

) but anyone here used armourfend or equivelants...

3 Series E46 M3 CSL small.jpg

i.e. Bumber panel is £133+vat & smallest £12+vat & fitting if required...

Always been a bit unsure of this stuff. Great idea in principle but the problem is for the cost you could get the front end redone again.

How long do these kits last before they need replacing ? And am I right in thinking certain ones damage the paint underneath ?

Good summary.

Had mine done, maybe 3 years ago, the mirror sheets aren't the best fitting but the bumper is unmarked. To take it off I have been told, just make sure it's warm. It doesn't need to be taken off

1 thing, the cut out round the front badge isn't great either, they should have a complete piece and then place the badge over it.
Your price seems cheap, I'm sure things have moved on since I fitted mine.
I think it is good stuff !

Its been on my CSL for 6 years now and still looks good
I would do it again to any fancy car i own

They do a better kit now that does the whole bonnet
i have this done on mine .

Bumper inc Flippers
Bonnet 3/4
Full wings
Side Sills
Rear Arch
Back Bumper Sides
Back Bumper Loading part
CSL Sill Plates they have been on the car for 6 years and still look like new

I bought the kit and did my own car

This is my m8s site in Florida he came 3 in the USA at installing these kits
he does a lot of high end cars there.

Have to admit Mark that all looks very impressive. Guess its a bit like window tinting though, bit of a black art really.

You must keep it wet and your hands wet also very clean
