Rear wing protection
I want to get some of that tough clear plastic film to protect my rear wings from stone chips. I'm sure that I can get it easily enough - if
only I could remember what it's called!
Can anyone give me the name of this stuff so I can go searching?

David, have a read of this read, particularly last post. Is that something you
are after or looking for something thinner?
We gain knowledge faster than we do wisdom!
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways, thoroughly used, totally worn out and loudly proclaiming... "f*ck, what a trip!"

Car builders solutions (CBS) do it. Can't recall what they call it though.
ETA found it.........
linker to stone chip protection film
I fitted it to my rear arches, easy to fit and works a treat, does not add much weight as the stainless ones either. Comes with instructions.

Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

That's the stuff - the one I was thinking about came from 3M, but the wording on the CBS page says "similar to that manufactured by world
the famous 3M group" 
mads - I was after sommat thinner, like Slater found.
splitrivet - you'll need your coat - it's cold out there! 
Cheers,
David

Yike!
I did a google search with my nice new clues, and have just found the 3M stuff - it's called Venture Shield.
Ideal, except for the price... around £35 - £40 for 300mm x 600mm, plus P&P plus VAT. 
The CBS stuff starts to look attractive, at less than half the price...

Had a quick look - there's a few options available, from proper 3M stuff at a middling price through to 'unknown quality' stuff at
cheap price. I'll give it some thought.
At least I know what to look for now!
