I had Armourfend on my Elise, and have Defendall on the Exige. Not much to choose between them - both do an excellent job. The Defendall is slightly thinner and covers a greater area on the front so gets my vote. Think it was circa £400 for the entire front, mirrors and side sills.

I got prices from Tint Haus in Perth for Defendall, this is what I was quoted...

Standard - front bumper, sills, mirrors - £293+VAT
Full - entire front clam, service panels, mirrors, sills, rear arches - £574+VAT

Guaranteed for 3 years

They would need it two days, first day is prep and fitting, second is anything lef that needs fitting and a check over for bubbling etc.

Hope this helps

*thread recycling*
Would you only fit armofend/defendall to a freshly painted car?

What if the car had a couple of chips on the front which had been touched up with a touch up brush?

I've got Armourfend... It's good althought I've heard they all start to look worn after a few years so we'll see how it goes.

Only tip is don't put it on new paint. Give it at least a month before you put it on - or you'll never get it off again without taking the paint with it :thumbsup
