Pics requested...Anyone with clear bra and Monaco/Sapphire
 

Hi all. I am trying to decide if I am going to have the clear bra or xpel paint protection put on my hood, bumpers, and rearviews. I currently have the 3M material on my 2007 530i. My E60, though, it TiAg and doesn't show the lines of the material that much. I am looking to see if anyone here with either a monaco or sapphire (preferably the latter) has had this done and could post some pics. I am very interested in seeing how noticeable, if at all, it is. This is my first black car in about 10 years, so I am getting a little nervous about rocks and debri from cars and trucks on the road.

I appreciate it, and TIA.

I have had it on black X5 before. Is not noticeable till you come close, but was noticeable when the car is dirty. These days they cover the whole hood so you never see any lines, even if dirty. Suggest doing it sooner the better. Apart from full front and headlights I also did door sills, door edges, back of door handles(ladies nails scratch there) and rear bumper top. Just have to tape nicely when polishing car otherwise wax settles next to film edges and difficult to get rid of.

Anyone ever had experience doing it on white car? Will it change color as years past by? Will it turn yellow?

I have teh Saphirre with the x-pel on entire front. You cant see anything until you get within about 5 feet and thats only if you know its there. The weather here has been misserable for about 2 weeks, so I can't get any pics yet. I will post some as soon as I can

Glenn,
Thanks...Look forward to seeing how it looks.

I`ll take some for you in the sunshine this afternoon.
Quite noticeable but does a good job. I have some minor bubbles around the front center aero portion.

Cheers,

Here is one from the front head on, sunset happened before I could get one of the hood from above.

Cheers,
