I had the nose & the two sills done after a respray from Sinclair, cost £500. Think the nose section on it's own is £300-ish...You can get the rear arches for about £30 DIY, got mine in black...

Think it's the fitting that the expensive part, I cetainly wouldn't want to do the one piece clam section!!! Did my own viper stripes without too many probs but wouldn't try the armourfend...

You could try InvictaShield, same stuff as Armourfend but cheaper. Also SELOC have a discount offer on it IIRC.

Cheers,

My S2 was actually the first to be armorfended so all the patterns are based off my car I believe. Anyway it cost the previous owner about 1 to get it done. Ouch.

Having said that its worth it imho. Car still looks great with minimal marks to the paint.

I'm sure you could have the front clam resprayed for about £150-£200 ... every three years or whatever ... I rather do that than amourfend personally.

Well firstly a front clam respray will cost more than 150 quid. Also armorfend, your car will look nice for the whole 3 years, not just the first 2 months...
