Have bought some side protection strips to fend off the drooling car park fools of Wiltshire but am undecided about getting them painted.
First off, does anyone have any pics of them fitted on a P1 unpainted please?
Secondly, my dealer suggested it would all be very difficult as they'd have to be fitted then sprayed in situ as they were too flexible to spray then fit.....
Anybody got any experience of this? Been through Search found a few opinions but no pics....

I had them sprayed off car then fitted by the body shop (whilst I watched). Cost about £20 to have done.
You don't need to flex them to fit them, and anyway you have to use a plastisised paint. They come with two strips of double sided adhesive on the back, you peel off one backing and turn the corner of the other over, then gently offer it up checking the line/fit; once satisfied press on firmly and check agin... then grab the corner of the other backing and pull it sideways from under the strip. Press it all down and your done.
It looks very good, adds another subaru badge and fits the car well.
I have to get one done again now though as somebody opened a door hard into the car. Strip took all the damage - nothing on the car (thank god)... alll I have to do is get one of the strips sprayed...
