After I was front-ended, I had the nose of my S3 Spider repainted last March. Since then, in about 3500 miles, the front end's gotten 6 or 7 chips from pebbles. Very annoying.
Apparently a clear-film 'bra' is the solution, but I have some questions. Two people have quoted me $1,000 and up to cover the whole front end, which seems like a lot.
What's the right film to get? Has it eliminated rock chips?
Has anyone tried applying the film themselves? How hard was it?
I don't think I need to cover the whole front end. The chips have been confined to the air dam under the bumper and the shovel nose in front of the hood between the headlight coves (see attached). Would it be OK to just cover those areas?
Thanks,
