Car booked in with Reep, how are we doing on scrapes on the undercarriage. I was warned about this before I bought it and have avoided speed bumps with a passion, What do we think about this ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHR8e46jzoI
Un-neccessary or essential ?

Unnecessary as just lowers your car and you will get more scrapes. Un-neccessary or essential ?
On most occasions you just scrape the replaceable plastic scrape guards and only £60 a set. But I can see why some folks do fit extra protection

Agreed, that was another question as to how expensive the guards were On most occasions you just scrape the replaceable plastic scrape guards and only £60 a set. But I can see why some folks do fit extra protection
I don't understand this. Its like people who leave the clear screen cover on their phone for ever after they buy it. If you don't actually ever see the thing you are protecting, what's the point? Especially if the thing you replace it with gets just as bad if not worse damage but is just as visible and without ever intending to reveal what is being protected??
Like wearing a face mask for your entire life and telling people that underneath it will have kept you looking amazing.

It is so thin and the technology has moved on a lot, I doubt unless you got really close you'd even notice. I wear a mask and put a screen protector on.
AndM you've Cleary been living in a cave matey, you would struggle your nuts off to see PPF at if applied correctly.
If anything on my Mac I'd say the sparkle of Ventura Orange is better from the PPF'd area than the rest of the car & in 9500 miles in its not got a mark on it. I can guarantee that would not of been the case if I'd not of had it done.
Respray costs are high, with colour matching some of the special colours Mclaren offer very very tricky. As such its a no brainer to get it done to the most vulnerable areas.
I'm a recent convert never having bothered on a number of heavily chipped bumper / bonnet in a couple of thousand mile old Porsche's, with cars at this price point it's more or less an essential addition I'd say.
