First of many daft Mini questions.. the paint rubs through inside the door jambs and I’ve read about pre cut protection film - can anyone point me in the right direction to order a pair please? TIA thumbup

Or buy a PPF sample of eBay for a couple ££ and cut to shape

I got mine from Etsy, it’s been on the car a couple of years now and is doing a good job protecting the paint.

Different options available, I went for the Textured Black.

Thanks all that’s really helpful. Hoping to get the car next week. I didn’t take pics but it looked like someone’s rubbed the door jambs down with 80 grit sandpaper. I don’t think it’s broken through the paint yet fortunately - if it has I’ll go for a black kit.

Enjoy your F56, lots of fun to come

I think Mini actually fixed this under warranty several years back. Mine's rubbed on the driver's door but I just don't care as the car is great - I've had it 9yrs!

The only probleem I have now is working out how to get the bonnet stripes off to replace them as they've gone all flaky at the edges! No doubt lifted after over enthusiastic use of a jet washer at the local Imo rolleyes

I bought the clear ones as the rubbing isn't too bad on mine. All good so far.
