Just thought I'd share my experiences with a company local to me ( integra signs ).

I popped in last week to ask for a price for doing a bit of vinyl paint protection o the bumper and bonnet on my race blue fabia.

Had it done today 2 hours and 65 quid later and they have done an awsome job, you can't even see it it looks bang on and in the perfect position to fight off the paint chips.

I had my full bonnet done by a chap in Portsmouth, Paintguard. 3M clear wrap, any scratches and you pour warm water on and the wrap "self heals" !
