As title really. Do vínyl arch protectors actually work or will the arches just get damaged underneath the vinyl by larger stones? I have access to a vinyl cutter etc and could do some very easily.
I would say no good the arches will probably crack beneath the covers I fitted aluminium to mine and these have taken a battering
Try wearing a cling film visor on a motorbike, and report back in a couple of weeks ?
Can't see it helping much. Big or sharp stones will still damage the arch underneath.
I used carbon sheet to protect mine

I ran carbon look a like with a clear laminate over the top and it handled it reasonably well although you do need to replace them over time.
I run vinyl rear arch protectors, (I may have done double layered - I cannot remember) but they have been on the car for a least 4 years and I have had no probs with them to date. I used to have aluminium on the rear and they started to pit and show the scuffs really quickly so at the moment very happy with the vinyl protectors.
I vaguely remember someone mentioning helicopter tape as doing a decent job?
Just been through to the print shop and we have some really thick clear vinyl that we lay onto digitally printed floors. I might try two layers of that plus a coloured layer and see what happens.
