Hi

Just picked up a E92 M3 Saloon - I fancy getting some paint protection for the front / door mirrors. I didn't do this on my 911 and the front was wrecked after a few high speed runs across Europe, had it on my Maserati and the front was like new after 2 years....

However, I cant seem to find anywhere in London (or nearby) where I can get this done - any ideas / recommendations...???

Doubt you will find anybody in London who will do it, but there are specialist companies / distributors not far away. Where are you located, ie Surrey side, Kent, Essex or Herts?

Depending upon where you are in London, you may want to have a glance at my e90 M3 saloon.

Paintshield templated my kit for my car as they had never done one.

After 7000 miles the front is as good as new.

Best thing I have had fitted to a car, ever.

Oh, forgot to add, they are based in peterborough but will lend you a car for the day / weekend.

Superb service from those guys.

For my Z4, I got Paintshield to come to a local, warm, dry, clean garage near me instead of me travelling to them.

Had the film on for about 20,000 miles so far and whilst it doesn't clean up as well as the paint it certainly absorbs the stone-chips.
I'll simply remove the film and get it detailed before I sell it (whenever that may be).

I have noticed that they've since started doing extra kits for my car, as when I got mine they only offered front coverage - but now offer rear wing coverage (stones get thrown from the front wheels into the sticking out rear haunches), and full bonnet kits (rather than 50% bonnet). I suppose there's nothing stopping them covering a whole car to protect it from car park scratches too.

The only place you really notice it's got film on is on the smaller pieces like the bottom of the front spoiler.

I have the full Ventureshield kit on my coupe and it has worked perfectly for the past 13000 miles. I have also discovered that you can clean road tar off more easily has the plastic does not seem to scratch.

You definitely want to go to armourfend in Hainault in Essex. Speak to Dean 02085016346. I think they are the main distributor/fitter for ventureshield in the UK. He does all sorts of exotica.

I think these guys wrapped David Wu's GTR in a recent edition of EVO.
