XPEL Paint Protection Film Thread for protection on key areas
Hi all,
I am having my SVR bumper and full hood wrapped which actually includes front fenders because we have one of the largest hoods on a production car.
I am wondering if I should have him wrap the areas I circled... being the car is AWD I don't know if it kicks things up any less... coming from a C7 Z06 the side skirts were a must to wrap. Can anyone chime in over 5k, 10k, 20K+ miles how the areas I circled are holding up without protection? For what its worth the car is also ceramic coated so that should help a little bit.

As per my other thread, 20k miles, a lot following other supercars etc on sporting drives, Front bumper has heavy road rash, hood/bonnet has 2 chips but tiny, zero damage or marks on any side skirts or rear wheel arches.
I do have a couple of stone chips in the grey Corioliswheel paint on the spokes, but not much you can do to protect them.
just my experience but personally I don't think the extra you have contemplated is worth it

What I don't quite understand is why, on such an expensive car, you wouldn't PPF the whole thing as opposed to bits and bobs? It's a cost effective way of protecting your car.
Sods law states that the parts you don't have covered will get gravel rash!
No panel is immune on these cars, and unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, ceramic coatings do nothing to protect you from stone chips.

+1 on skipping the area behind the rear and going up a bit higher in front of it

I wish I could get the light right to show you guys the rash on my expel in those rear wheel areas... You may change your opinion.
I managed a photo that is lower and that I expel'd to see the effects of the stones underneath:
Each one of the white dots is where the PPF is holed.
Although the rear of the wheel is hit to a far lesser extent due to the plastic aero lip (if fitted) deflecting rocks, I can certainly see that it has got at least 8-10 hits.
