Xpel Front End

[Killo]

Hi guys, has anybody had Xpel done on there bus if so would you recommend having it done. I know it’s not cheap.

I have the same question

Was just reading about this as my other half knows someone who works for wombat wrapping in Matfield Kent, which is 5 mins from us, she’s going to wrap an air con unit for us that’s black and we want white! I was also going to enquire about my window tinting as I’m sure they do more than on their website which is all about Xpel and supercar paint protection, there’s some serious cool vehicles in and out of there daily!

I had a recent quote of 250 for the bonnet

Anyone tried doing bonnet themselves, where could you buy the film big enough to do a bonnet.

Really pleased with it, only problem is if the bonnet has the odd stone chip which I didn’t think mine had it will slightly show but only if your close enough, but I know it’s now protected no more swirl marks and no more stone chips. Definitely would do it again, it should last 10 years+ I’ll post pictures later mate

I did one on my old car, 2 people, somewhere dry clean no wind etc and you will need a hot air gun and the apication tools. It's not as simple as pulling backing off and slapping it on.

that's for sure. not something i would do myself... but @Killo price now seems reasonable when looking at the costs...

I’m the same, thought they would be better. They look nice, will look into better bulbs when I have time. What bulbs have you used
