3m venture shield

[Melchett]

Hello, I have just had the bumper on my ro vxr resprayed and I have been looking into getting it some protection because that area is so prone to stone chips. The problem is, that I can't find any company that has a pattern for this bumper. However, I have found somewhere that is willing to create a pattern but this will be about a days extra labour.

Is anyone else interested in getting this done? If they get more work in, it may be possible to avoid the pattern costs altogether. The benefit of a pattern means that the bumper can be covered in smaller panels which make future repairs cheaper. We could do some kind of group buy thing?

Could be interested. It's something I thought about when I had my bumper resprayed but within a week I'm picked up a few stone chips so dropped the idea

Have you tried Armourfend (http://www.armourfend.co.uk)? They definitely have the templates for the CV8, so may have the VXR too.

dont bother, if you've just had it resprayed I'd not risk having a film take it all off when it comes to being repalced

Yours is silver isn't it Melchett? I had Armourfend applied to my silver 'ro when I bought it new in 2005. 9 years on it has has yellowed a little in the wheel arches, but the across the front and wing mirrors there is no discolouring at all. I'd highly recommend it.

Ah, that's good to know. Yes, mins is Silver.

I had armour fend on the arches of my focus for years with no issue from yellowing

I'm told the reason it does this is the type of cleaner used by various car wash services which will turn any type of protection yellow
