Anyone tried fitting armourfend themselves?
I had decided not to have the Griff done after it's respray but I picked up the 1st stonechip on the way to, or at Goodwood last week & it's really narked me.
I'm willing to give it a go but the nose section costs 200quid so I don't want to attempt the impossible & make a balls up!

Put my spot covers on and can safely say i wouldnt want to put a whole nose section on.
The spots where easy enough to do but u have to push lots of ittle airbubbles out as u put it on.Not sure how easy that would be on a nose section.
IMO Leave it to the Pro's. Too easy to Firk up.

Get the amourfend blokes over bite the bullet (cost) and it won't look pants!

Dunno how it compares 'cos I've not driven the other 2. All the car mags seem to give it favourable write ups in group tests, although I'd guess its less 'hardcore'
I'm very impressed with it. Get that test drive. They can be had for £16k ish new if you try hard enough & that looks like a bargain to me (I paid 16.3k).
www.seatcupra.net is a good site BTW
