Soundslegal: Yes, I have the ABS plastic one.
I agree with you that the black brushed steel bumper will likely scratch and be unsightly. The good thing about the plastic one is even if it's scratched it looks alright. I've had my kids dig their ski boots on the bumper, drag their mountain bikes out the boot and the scratches look 'the part'. Check out my IG. If you can't wait for the ABS one, then perhaps the full cover in silver is better than the one in black (may not go well with certain body colours though) 22MY Defender 110 D300 S in Pangea Green and Contrast White Roof IG defender_japan "Hulk san" |

My rear step wasn’t wrapped with PPF, none if my bumpers were so it’s not a sticking problem. If you are interested I have their step “protector” the one that just sits on top of the rear bumper, not the the one that wraps all round the edge too, it’s unused and is OEM and looks like this coming up for sale. https://www.powerfuluk.com/vehicles/land-r...-l663.html  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior.

I am looking for something that gives a bit more protection than that I'm afraid - bikes and dogs will be endlessly in and out the boot so need to protect the bumper corners/edges.

I got the Powerful one last week - worth waiting for one I think as it wraps round the edges to give more protection...

I've had 3 different quotes for full body PPF - £3k, £4k, £5k.
Can anyone else share what they have paid or been quoted for PPF? |

The going rate for full PPF a year ago was around £5k normal retail, top quality, when I was looking.
I didn't really want to shell out that much so was looking at doing just the bonnet and sides, which was going to cost around £3.5k. In the end I was able to get full coverage at 'mates rates' through a friend. It's Xpel clear gloss and has the 10 year warranty so I would recommend going for that level of quality through a reputable fitter if you can. |

The cost for PPF was the deciding factor for me when I chose to have Ceramic coating.
I don’t take my car off-road and i’m very fussy when cleaning my car using the accepted good wash techniques. The ceramic coating won’t prevent 100% of possibly paint damage but it should ensure that my car keeps in tip top condition for the time I own it. It will also make the cleaning that much easier, hopefully.

To have my 90’s front, bonnet and both sides up to the window line done with Expel Clear Gloss I’ve been quoted £2350 by the detailing company I used for both my 110 and the Mini and to whom I take the cars monthly to for a £30 wash and hand dry, they treat any nicks or damage to the PPF at the same time (I’ve only needed one bit trimmed in 3 years so far on the 110 and nothing remedial on the Mini)
I 2020 I paid £1900 for the same areas of the 110 to be covered with the same Expel PPF Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come 2020 D240 1st Edition in Pangea Green with Acorn interior.
