I want to buy some plastic film of some sort to put on the rear arches to stop the stone chips getting any worse. I have also thought it might have to be black as anything clear will just show the chips that are already there (don't I wish I had done this before I put the car on the road!). Is it just best to contact a company that does "vehicle wrapping" or similar or can I buy some off the shelf?

Or real carbon fibre with 3m sticky back from ebay.

thanks, the self adhesive carbon is out, my tiger arches are not a straight curve so fittin it will be difficult, hence the ideal of some stick on vinyl type material.

thanks sounds like armourfend may be the answer.

thanks Colin

seems I'm not the only one looking for the stuff

just a thought but will the "fablon" stuff you see in DIY stores work ?

Car builders Solutions sell it by the foot, not cheap.
