V12V stone chipping

[ipd57]

A question to any V12V owners. I note that at the rear of the car beneath the carbon is a body painted part of the rear valance. Is this susceptible to stone chips? I would have thought looking at it that it might look a mess after a few thousand miles, or maybe less.

Nearly 10,000 miles on mine and still ok..................

It is an area the 3M Ventureshield V12 pack covers so I'm guessing some one some where thinks it may get chipped

Did you ever enquire about the cost of quite literally, full protection mikey ?

I'm going to have to start thinking about it soon. But I quite like the idea of tonneau cover, top of rear bumper where the boot meets it and windscreen 'rails' - that only leaves the doors and not much else ! Wondered what the price difference was.....

Mine is perfectly fine, after 31 thousand kms.

They didn't do a condom version
I have the full V12V kit and full bonnet
The "kit" comprised front splitter, front bumper, front portion of front wings, head lights, head light washers, full cill, door mirros, door handles, extended front of rear arch, rear bumper below boot, bottom of rear splitter
I've gained 3 stone chips ALL of which are outside the covered area
I'm a convert - I used to hate the stuff but it's kept my paint work better than when it left the factory
Windscreen rails is a good idea I wouldn't bother with the rest.
