Hi all,

New to the forum, just picked up an 05 cooper s and want to put some paint protection on the car. I did a search for this but couldn't find a conclusive answer. Who makes the best kit in regards to providing the most coverage for the car?

thanks,

rlm

I raised this question a while ago and didn't get a great deal of response, and would still like to know what there is on offer, especially for side skirts!!

The best offering that I found was a kit from X-Pel using 3M material they seem to offer the most coverage, but I was looking for the list to back up my research. I looked at armour glove and clearshield. Armour glove doesn't use 3M's material they have their own by Dupont and its what my deal offers but the coverage is only up to the hood scoop. Side skirts are offered by Xpel and aren't that hard as a DIY either since its a flat panel

I am going to have my car done professionally this sat by an Xpel dealer. this guy was willing to negotiate on pricing.

So, are you happy with the installation? Do you have any pictures you could share?

Cheers.
