Having just had an 05 STi bonnet re-sprayed due to a couple of mondo stone chips complete with dents

I thought I'd protect the new paint with some Armorfend type clear vinyl.

A look at their website shows a Kit for the Impreza bonnet and mirrors at 'only'150 Dollars

However a call to my nearest supplier/fitter and i'm told its £175 +vat

and for the full kit they want a whopping £450 +

Is this stuff really worth that kind of money?or am just getting tight in my old age

Just get some sticky backed plastic, same stuff

I personally dont like the look of it and would rather get a few stone chips, cars are really for driving not looking at so a few battle scars is fine.

 

You could always get yourself a car bra!



Also known as a gimp mask!

 

elmer - what was the cost of a bonnet respray if you don't mind me asking and was it from you local scooby dealer?

I'll post some pics tomoz of the front of the scenic!

 

I've got this stuff on my bonnet and front bumper.

Car is 5 years old and not a single stone chip / dent.

 

If I had steel bits on the front of mine I'd worry about it as I hate rusty brown spots. Bumper, splitter etc. are plastic and the bonnet's aluminium

<shrugs>

I've got headlight protectors though and considering the mesh type foglight grilles.
