Is it worth getting Paint Protection Film??? (e.g. Ventureshield)

[dave_r]

Interesting product, I hate panel beaters so anything that prevented a visit to one is a good thing. I know every one of my cars has ended up with a front that looked like it was sandblasted from regular twisty runs with others I had to replace the windscreen on my S15 due to pitting all over it and respray most of the front as I couldn't even run a sponge across the front bar after 25,000km's without it getting caught on a divot hehe!

I'd put it in the too hard basket of fitting myself but would like to see how inconspicuous it looked once installed.

Hi all,

Am seriously considering this for when the Golf R finally arrives. Does anybody know of a Canberra based installer?

Otherwise, if a trip to Syd is in order - how long for it to get installed considering the prep they have to do?

One last one - I noticed that some people saying that the product is more visible on white cars? Am very interesting in hearing from any white vw owners who had this applied. Does it stand out like the proverbial dogs balls?

Gonad i have a white GTi and got ventureshield installed from ozicozi in sydney.

got the full bumper plus door cusps and sills and top of rear bumper as well as side mirrors done.

took abt 5-6 hours to complete. it isnt obvious imo and the finish looks good.

dont have time to post pics now but i did post a few under the best number plates styles thread.

Hi Gonad, I've been looking for an ACT installer but there doesn't appear to be one. Perhaps if we found enough customers here we could convince an installer to come down and do all of us at once, or we could organise a convoy up to Sydney.

Did you get the bonnet done also?

Do you mind giving an idea of what it cost you to get it all done.

Thanks for that moonblade87. Had a look at your pics in the other thread and agree you wouldn't know the difference unless you were purposefully looking for it, so I'm certainly leaning to getting it done. Might see if I could get it done when the car is at the dealer or even in transit as it comes through Syd to Canberra for delivery.

BTW, your plate bracket looks the goods too!

I'd get it but there are certain colours it works better on. Shows up a bit much on white as can see the edges and despite how good it is it may still appear slightly yellow on white.

I looked at both sets of photos in that thread but don't notice anything. Where does the shield start?

I am getting it put on my new Golf by PCG when it arrives in the next week or so.

They are in Malaga near Jb Hifi aren't they? If so they are the one's i got to quote me a while back on getting the front of the WRX done, was about $900 from memory so was hoping prices may have come down a bit as the product is becoming more widly known.
