Is it common to PPF just front bumper?

[holmgang]

All the shops around here want to promote the front ppf package, which is bumper, hood, fender, and even mirrors.

My experience in years with the 3 is that the hood takes 90% of the brunt. Hood very rarely gets marked up. Fenders never. And mirrors…who cares?

Think all I need is just to protect the bumper.

It comes
Down to money if you have it do entire front end. If you don’t want to spend it do bumper and at least 12” of the hood

That makes sense. However, doing just the front part of the hood will eventually look hideous. Dust and grime will highlight where the PPF ends on the hood. The uncovered part will also discolor with age differently than the covered part. Spend a few more quid to do the whole hood or not do it at all.

Agree. If you're going to do anything, do the front bumper and entire hood.

You need the front of the rear quarter panels. They get shredded without protection. Front mudflaps are a must as well.

fine you've convinced me getting the hood, fenders, bumper, and even the rear loading area

Or do the whole car...

I went with front bumper only. Totally happy with that.
