RRS clear wrap

has anybody had this done in clear to protect from stone chips?

i pick up the new RRS in 10 days and if needed i want to get it done immediately. I guess that due to the shape only the front bumper/rad area needs doing if anything due t the shape of the body, but would like to know how prone the RRS is to stone chips ??????

I have have 3 chips ......................... one on the bonnet leading edge, one on the windscreen and one on the steel above the windscreen, all caused by the same large stone thrown up by a passing lorry
Car has now got 10500 miles on it and is 11 months old. My previous Giverny Green Sport suffered very few stone chips in 2.5 years and 20,000 miles. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

VentureShield did mine, I was about the first RRS in the UK to have it done so was a test vehicle - that's why I got it all for free including the sills which they templated using my car.

There's a thread about it somewhere.....
