Morning all,

800 miles following a front re-spray and the chips are appearing fast again...

Any ideas? Do you all just touch up or..?

I'm gutted!

I had the same problem on my 355, had the front bumper blown in twice in a year. Unfortunately stone chips are just part of ownership but you can get the front bumper covered with a pruduct called "armourfend". Its a clear coating that gives moderate protection from stonechips. You can go a step further and half the bonnet done but then you see an unsightly thin line across the width of the bonnet.
I am taking delivery of my 360 in April and have asked the dealer to fit it to the front bumper for me. It costs about 250 quid. Well worth it!

Here! Brian- I had exactly the same problem and an identical reaction to it. IMO Armourfend is the way to go, without question. It DEFINITELY works and I wouldn't hesitate to use it on any low nose car I have in future. In fact I'm going to get the 911 done too. You can see it if you look, but this is far better than having the car disfigured with horrendous numbers of chips.
www.armourfend.com are based in Nazeing, Essex, and will either send someone out to you, or you can go to their warehouse for fitting. I wouldn't recommend fitting it yourself. If you fill in your contact and car details they will send you a map of which parts they provide, you tell them which you want, then they send you a quote.

I have no relationship with this company other than as a past customer!
