Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted December 11, 2009 Leadership Team Share Posted December 11, 2009 Has anyone managed to find someone in reasonable distance of Cheshire who can supply and fit Armourfend? My newly painted wings are back from the bodyshop and it'd be a real shame to mess them up first run out ☹️ And before anyone suggests I do it myself ........ been there and bought the post card, never again!

Area Representative Paul Richards Posted December 11, 2009 Area Representative Share Posted December 11, 2009 Stu I think Dave Horridge has found someone who can do it to a good standard - drop him an e-mail.

Stuart McGill Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 Stu There is a place close to you on Golborne Enterprise Park that I have driven past before. I am not even sure if it does Armourfend but it is work a try... I'll have a google and see what i can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomB Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Any news on this, as I have a pair of new carbon stoneguards Im thinking of getting done to keep them nice & shiny. Edited to say Ive found the firm in Golborne, Invisible Film here Edited by - TomB on 19 Feb 2010 20:29:30 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Akroyd Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Guys I have emailed these people to find out if they could do a local fitting.PPG The website says they have fitters all over the uk and they do bulk discount. If we could all have it done at the same place maybe it could work out well? If they have a local fitter is this worth following up? The guard is also cheaper than armourfend that I have found and comes recommended on BC Opinions please?!

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Leadership Team Share Posted February 20, 2010 I've been beavering away at this one! I contacted Scratchguard who have a fitting department in Altrincham, but their response was "fit the carbon protectors first then we can include them with the protective film" - I decided they didn't really know what they were doing with respect to a 7!!! Following Dave Jacksons advice I then bought some film from Invisible Film who I've now discovered are the people in Golborne who I took Englishmaninwales's wings to .... who made a mess of them. I did however have some success fitting the film they supplied - the film is really flexible and I managed to stretch it nicely into position - my wings are off the car. However I had a big issue with dust under the film caused by my fingers contacting the underside of the wing which although I thought was clean, obviously was not. Result being that I've wasted a whole piece second attempt though went really well. I still need to do the second wing with the little I have left! Stu.

Wil Akroyd Posted February 20, 2010 Share Posted February 20, 2010 Excellent Stu. It's really good of you to practice on your car. When shall I bring mine round!!?? 😬 C7 WEA 1.6K DVA Power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Leadership Team Share Posted February 20, 2010 I think a good tip would be ...... remove the wings to fit the protection, I'm not sure I'd be happy tackling the job in situ! Now need to psych myself up to doing the other wing! Stu.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 20, 2010 Author Leadership Team Share Posted February 20, 2010 If there's a few sets to be done it would be far more economical to combine and cut them from one sheet of protective film. One LH and one RH are not very film efficient when cutting! Stu.

Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted February 21, 2010 Author Leadership Team Share Posted February 21, 2010 Another question for anyone who's done it themselves .... my car is Lotus Azure blue and due to the dark colour, having fitted the film (and I believed removing all the bubbles and detergent fully) I think there are still a few detergent marks where I've really had to "work" the film. Can anyone recommend a suitable detergent that is easier to get out? Stu.
