Extended hood, fenders, mirrors and trunk lip if you use trunk.

So anymore ppl that did this and are very satisfied? So far this one of the places I am considering.

The Detailing Shop in Newmarket did my entire frontend. Hood, fenders, bumper, side mirrors, headlights and foglights. All wrapped in VentreShield

the VW Dealer in Brampton has a guy that does it here for 240 for the hood and fenders.

Bramgate?
$700 - $800 is CRAZY. Wow... I know it's not the same quality but I bought the kit for my cars in the past on eBay for $35 and put it on myself.... no problems (peeling, bubbling, shifting...) driving them in the GTA for 3-5 years.

WOW

Maybe I could pay you do mine

My dealer did all the 3M stoneguard for me, however I have to check what brand of film they used. They did the hood, full bumper, fenders, side mirrors, door sides.

What I am looking for is headlights, i know i shud have gotten them when i picked up the car
aanyways headlights, lower rear fender area, rockerpanels, and door sill area.
Believe me on the M these areas get a lot of stonechips especially if you go on country roads, highway driving etc.

I had my car don't about 2 weeks after picking it up, going on 3 years now and still in perfect shape. I think I paid about $240 buck for the partial hood and fender as well as the mirrors, I also got mine done @ a local shop in Newmarket, it's well worth it as far as I'm concerned....

Any stone chips on the hood or fenders where there is no protection?

For the most part it is good. I think the worst one I had was above the wind shield @ the very front of the roof (fucking dump trucks....).

I just thought I'd chime in on the Marco love-fest. He just did my 2011 335i sedan, and it's a beautiful thing. The install is flawless, and the film blends in nicely with the car. I had the front bumper, extended hood, fenders and side mirrors done.

It's worth every penny, and I like giving my business to a guy who takes such pride in his work.

Did that cost like over 1k???

Let's say just south of that, but it's easy for me to justify...

I have a 10 year old 323CI that never had any front-end protection. When it was 5 or so, it looked like it had the worse case of acne ever - the stone chipping was absolutely atrocious. At that point, I had the front end repainted and it looked brand new again - cost me $1200 to do it and about a week of hassles.

A couple years later, the front end was a complete mess again. I think there was more white than black. I spent 8 hours filling in every stone chip, making it look passable again.

It looked OK from a distance for a little while, but by now it's rashed to hell again. I spent another 4 hours filling in the chips again, but it looks pretty sad from up close.

At this point, I'm in for $1200 plus another $600 in labour at least. If I can put a large fraction of that into my new car up front and prevent this whole mess, no hesitation. Looking at the condition of the shield on Marco's ride, this should hold up nicely for a long, long time.

Good to know!!! Thanks!

Had both our cars done within a week of arrival by Marco - one was in January and it was dang cold. The MSport front fogs are hemispherical and so VentureShield won't fit them. He gave a discount as a consequence. He's a pro.

Actually very very reasonable for Hood, Fender, Mirror, Front Bumper and Trunk Lip, based on quality and customer feedback and previous experiences.

Where is Marco located?

[PushingTin]

Marco did my car 3 years ago, amazing work and he's done subsequent cars since for me, he's mobile so will come to you. I can't recommend his product or workmanship highly enough.
