Has anybody any experience with this?
just picked up a 1 year old audi with very low miles, its absolutely mint and would like to keep it that way, have got tape for the sills and the rear door but fancying clear bra for the front end.. basically any do's / dont's? guess 3m is the stuff to use.. what kind of price am i looking at? was going to give it a go myself but could only find huge sheets of the 3m stuff which were £700+  |

Look up helicopter tape on eBay, it usually throws up different sizes and then cut it to fit. Ray

I'm well adversed in using helicopter tape, done the defender sills with it, and many bikes i think for a car of this nature having it done properly would yield better results..
i struggled to find large sheets of it on eBay apart from stateside.. this is what I'm after..

Likewise disappointment with the actual thread topic...
After Lamberts experience of googling, I'm not sure I dare actually google Bra to see what it actually is!! James

THere is a guy in Newcastle who uses VentureShield Paint Protection Film, he used to do kits or he would fit it for you.

This is the 3M Ventureshield stuff:
http://www.3mventureshield.co.uk/paint-protection-film/ I briefly looked into it when I got a new Audi a couple of years ago, but in the end decided against. The reason for me was from all of the pictures I found online I could always see the 'edge' of the film, which I didn't like. I also decided it would be sods law that you spend a fair bit of money getting the front end wrapped and protected and then get a scratch down the side or something. But it does seem to get good reviews both in quality of fit (depending on who fits it!) and that it does work in preventing stone chips. 2005 Td5 | 90 Station Wagon | Tonga Green |

Useful thread, thanks also...
I took the protective stuff off my SAABS 9000 Aero flared rear wheel arches that SAAB put on from new as it was faded and pitted after 20 years and I have been meaning to replace it...
Better... It,s also on the body kit underneath just in shot, will replace that also, need to make a template first, sod to get off, well stuck on after so many years...

this is my defender sill and the back end of the other car, the other car is inside so the lighting makes it stand out more... both have been on for over 3 years.
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge (pic reminds me i need to glue the end cap back on  )

been quoted £550 one place and £2.4k at another (you'd think it would be a full wrap at that price... it wasn't...)
