My S2 is Armorfended all round apart from the sills. This seems stupid seeing as (apart from the front clam) this is the most obvious place to put it I would have thought. Can you buy just a kit for Elise S2 sills?
They're chipped to buggery, but if I got them resprayed I'd definately want to protect them.
Any ideas?

Armourfend supply all the pieces separately and will fit for you at a cost (but def worth it for the more tricky pieces).

Call Louise at AF on 01992 892 896 - she's really helpful.

Here is the kit detail:

that almost protect all the car!...couldn't they just make a strong paint? so you wouldn't need all those protektion plastic? I hate stickers on a car

Or maybe better buy a white/pearl colored lotus? that way you can't see the stonechips?
In Japan they seem to love with colored cars, make that with black wheels
I'm more the dark-colored car man when I can choose, that means you would see a lot stonechips when not protekting the car.
Are there other options then protektplastic? special wax? special paints? carbon/cevlar frontclam?

I wouldn't have ALL the pieces on that diagram! I have AF fitted to my Starlight Black 111R - upper nose, full nose (lower), rear wheel arch, doorlock surrounds and bootlock protector. Really nicely fitted by AF so they don't show from a few feet. If you wipe them over with methylated spirit now and then they really come up so transparent they disappear. And they do work BTW. Thinking about getting the sills, door mirrors and upper rear arches done next...

I like the rear arch lower protectors and the top rear protector would be useful for when you are taking something out of the boot.

Are Chipsaway any good for things like sills or would it need the things properly resprayed?
