Gastro,

I have no idea about Ziebart Stone shield, but I will be getting my P1 fully armourfended, as I know a few others that have had it done and swear by it.. and judging by the look of their cars, its a definite must, as my P1 needs a respray on the front after only 3 months!

Rgds, Alex

Yes - have had it on RB5 for last 1.5 years -very good - all areas. Bonnet film has a couple of stones/boulders go through it but I am very happy. I am in London/kent if you want to see it. get it fitted at their site in Essex.

Hope this helps

Gastro,

Use the search facility at the top of the page & search on general questions. Lots of old posts on Armourfend etc.

DIY sounds a nightmare - get it done by the pros.

Have you got a quote from Rum* for insurance?

You should also be able to order precut armourfend for your headlamps and foglights. It looks better than the plastic protectors. I believe prices are around £50 for the headlamps and £30 for the fogs. Mine is on order from Cheam Motors - call Jim Childs on 020 8394 2263 if your're interested.

Cool

I'm having mine done at AF HQ, Fitting is extra!

I think they can send out the stuff to you direct for you to fit however they recommend a dust free cool enviroment.
