It is the solution to the problem recommended by a UK car protection company for new cars that are going to be protected by their film, but have to be driven to the film installer. it stops most chipping problems with the paint apparantly, but obviously wont stop the largest roacks from doing damage.

I would also suggest keeping your speed real low until you get it protected.

Tony Hi
Thanks for your reply and for a solution that does seem logical and easy to perform. Now, onwards, long run, what kind of protection should i go for? and do you think all those companies that have those sets that match the S or normal Cooper will actualy go out of their way to come up with one just for 2000 units? just wondering what you and others are going to do. I 100% want to address this though. thank you
Lorien
