Quick question to those with G80 M3’s without PPF. Have you noticed any areas on the car that is prone to stone chips/abrasions (apart from frontal area). As an example my F80 M3 has lots of stone chips etc on the rear bottom edge of the front wheel arch and at the bottom of the rear doors at the front of the rear wheel arch. Are there any areas in the G80 that I will need to PPF? Looking forward to your feedback

I did the whole front and side skirts all the way to the back fender. Also PPF guy took off factory PPF at rear door and put more coverage there. I installed TLG mud flaps to reduce the debris hitting the sides of car and damaging the side skirts.

Regarding the factory ppf in front of the bulging rear wheel arches…..is it that the factory doesn't put enough? Or, is it just not durable enough? Also….related to the OP's post about stone chips….where's the best, most trusted place online to order touch up paint? I've tried multiple dealers to order Brooklyn Gray touch up paint, and, no dealerships carry it. I want to be careful who/where I order from online because I want it to match according to OEM standards

It doesn't go all the way inside of rear door and leaves a little exposure on fender bulge. Also the installer took it partially up through rear fender for more protection.

Sounds like one area to PPF

I wish I did the roof, a rock hit it and put a little pit in it.

In my F80 i did full frontal and that included the first 20” of the CF roof - will do the same on the G80

Installing TLG mud flaps keeps rocks and debris off of side skirts and sides of the car even if full of partial PPF used.
