I posted a full report on the DR site http://blog.drivers-republic.com/?p=40 , otherwise I'd just like to say what an excellent job Nick and his brother Tim have done in fitting Ventureshield to my X6.

If like me, you didn't realise how Nick got into the paint protection business, then here is what I learned when I spent a morning at his premises.

Nick entered the paint protection business through his own personal interest in cars, and the lack of full bonnet protection kits available in the market four years ago. He focuses on full frontal protection and can even undertake paint rectification on-site before applying the protective film.

A.M.I. Paint Protection are actually just a small part of the Curvature Group, a group of companies formed around the core skill of 3D model making, and Nick led me on a fascinating tour of each business. The core business, A.M.I. Modelmakers, use CNC, CAD and other prototyping tools to create 3-dimensional forms ranging from mobile communication devices right up to full size mock-ups of trains, planes and automobiles. Space Models produce anything from scale models of private jets to full-size aircraft and missiles for airshow displays. Whilst Morpheus contains a team of highly experienced sculptors and modelmakers, realising designs for some of the UK’s best selling toy makers. The common theme between these businesses is their skill and attention to detail, combined with a commitment to customer service.




Anyway, here are a few pictures of my X6 with full frontal coverage..

^^^^ I Agree. They do top work and Ventureshield are the best 'film' fitters in the UK.

It certainly looks shiney but then a freshly detailed car would too. I can see how the film would protect the bodywork but how does the film keep it shiney? Does it prevent swirls or scratches which would have a negative effect on its appearance?

Does the car need to be dismantled in any way to allow the film to be fitted? And are each of the panels covered with film that is pre-shaped or is it cut to size on the car? Can they work on all types of car?
