Question

After reading all the horror stories about the stone chips, I have decided to get the front of my new WRX done as soon as possible.

Only problem is, Armourfend won't fit it on weekends. So does anyone know of anywhere which fits Armourfend (or any similar product) on a Saturday, preferably near/in Herts?

I cant remember the contact number, but there is a guy who is based in colchester who fits a rival product which is much cheaper than armourfend.

He will come out to you, or you can meet him. He does uise a template kit, but can also cut extra bits for wheel arches (if they stick out ) etc.

Go into the muppet forum and try to get Blowdogs attention. He has the guys number as he has it on his car.

I think the guy will do weekends too!

Goodluck.

The only part of my P1 that is armourfended is the lip spoiler, the rest of the front is normal. Guess which parts are plastered in stone chips. Yes straight through the armourfend no problem. The rest of the front is still looking good. How can this be?

Don't suppose you or anyone else remember the name of the stuff? Only Blowdog doesn't seem to be reading his mail so I guess he's on holdiday?

I cant get in touch with him either.

He isnt on holiday, I spoke to him earlier this morn.

When I get hold of him and the number, I will post it to this thread. hang on, cos it is well worth it. Total job was less than £200.

Bob does have a point. If a stone is gonna hit with force, no plastic is gonna save the bodywork, but this will protect against motorway normal stonechips at least.

Does that mean the whole car??
How much should I do, I was planning on the front facing surfaces and bonnet?

What do people recommend?

Should you wash/wax the car any differently?
