Venture Sheild Paint Protection Film

[royston1214]

I have just had the front of my WR1 covered with Venture Sheild Paint Protection Film to reduce the risk of unsightly stone chips. The film can be applied as a pre cut kit or custom fit, the difference with custom fit is you get alot more coverage. Stephen assisted by Mark at Mint Condition based in Romford, fitted the film and took the majority of the day to custom fit and cut to the WR1's lines, I now have 98% coverage of the front bumper Stephen also fitted some Venture Sheild to the PIAA lights and on top of the rear bumper where the boot shuts. Stephen was very genuine and friendly, a Subaru enthusiast himself owning a very nice STI Forrester. the cost of the film and fit was £300. If you want to get intouch with stephen call Mob 07710330227 or visit the web site www.mintcondition-uk.com he will do group buy discount.

Maybe a dull question, but can you tell its there????

if it's done properly then you shouldnt be able to see it untill you look up really close

We look after a new GT3 that's had a COMPLETE armour fend body wrap!

how does this affect cleaning/waxing/polishing the car? Surely you cant get as good a finish with this on?

Considering the curves on a 911 it must have been a nightmare to apply (the rear 1/4's are one piece!) and they did a bloody good job, however it does take some clarity away from the paintwork as can be seen in some of the reflections in the bonnet particularly. This is why i'm not a fan of these paint protection films, even the best quality ones still take a little bit away from the finish of the paint so i'd rather just get the front end painted every couple of years if need be


As you can see from the write up, it is possible to polish/wax etc, but you cant polish too aggressively for obvious reasons

Will post some Pics of the WR1 at the weekend, the film is optically clear and can only be be identified when up close to the car. The film can be polished and waxed as normal. I believe a number of the RB320 owners have had the film applied due to the colour of the car.

i had x-pel paint protection film put on my rb, full bumper, full bonnet, both side wings, sill's, wing mirrows, light's half way up the doors,back wheel arches and part of the boot,
used the main x-pel company in grantham, they train companys then franchise it, nearly 16k miles and still no stone chips, so would recommend it to any one who is thinking of it.
