Mikey no wonder you don't have any stone chips, might have something to do with being at the front!!
Would anyone contemplate using a company like Chips Away to sort out the lower valance, not the wings or bonnet obviously. I have been assured of a very good result.

That Chipex is surprisingly good. I have done the rear offside arch only and it is absolutely amazing. I hope it does the same on the bonnet, I will be chuffed.

I spent ages on one arch though to get it as flat as possible, but worth it.
