DIY PPF with Kit

[m3p_uk]

This will be the first time I purchase a new car and like the idea of a PPF kit to protect the paint but not the idea of paying £1-2K for it which unfortunately at the moment I just simply can't afford :-(
Am after a kit which covers the front bumper, bonnet, lights and front wheel arches.
Have seen on ebay this DIY kit and was wondering if anyone has tried a it yet? PreCut Suntek PPF-Ultra Clear Bra Film for 17+ Tesla Model 3 | eBay

Also has anyone been able to find any links to other kits which can be delivered to the UK?
The only other think remotely similar I was able to find was the RPMTesla headlight kit Model 3 Headlight Protection Film (Clear or Smoked) Set of 4

I am quite good at DIY and wrapped a few things before so also like the idea of giving this a go myself

unless your an experienced detailer or have done any wrapping to a car before I would not attempt it. Either pay for a pro to apply, plenty avaliable look on pistonheads or detailersworld for recommendations.

personally I prefer the gtechniq ceramic coating option as I have used it before via a detailer

Main reason I want this is to help protect against stone chips. Yes have experience and have done ceramic coatings myself before but they are only good for helping with washing dirt off and offer little or no other protection

Well you have to gain experience some how...

Whats the worst that can happen....
You muck it up and have to order a new piece.

I'll do it for you! Check out my skills in the console wrap thread . I have years of experience in googling how to be a pro one first attempt at everything.

It will come with a Mayflies life time warranty.

Any more links of where to get a pre cut one in the UK please?

interesting idea! Much of what you pay for with the pro is the prep work before hand - no point wrapping either a dodgy paint job or a handful of flies. Take that into account and it should be do-able,maybe slap it on ASAP after purchase so a quick clean is all thats needed? The bumper is meant to be the hardest panel? Possibly not the best to practice on?

Just looking at your first link - if the supplied kit matches the diagram, that is a significant coverage for only £240 and probably a weekend!

Yep but it's from America so will have to pay import tax and admin fees etc and a fairly long wait time for shipping.
Anyone manage to find another one?
