I've used David at Clear Shield in Castle Hill before and his work is top notch. I'm open to other options however.

If anyone has film applied to the M3/M4 id love to see some comments and closeup pics of the bumper, intake, grills etc. Or if your in Sydney maybe we can catchup.

I'm basically looking for quality kits/installers that have minimal joins and is invisible as much as possible.

I want to avoid cuts like this as shown here on the Mirror and bonnet corners(zoom in)


Cheers

I have Xpel on the front clip, roof, A-pillars, mirrors, and luggage area. Unfortunately in areas like the A-Pillar, luggage headlights, and mirrors, the film is more visible but you have to look for it. My mirrors like exactly like the picture you posted, I believe it has to be that way to bend it around the mirror.

in the larger areas where the film covers the paint from edge to edge, there is no way to tell it is there. Looks just like the paint.

I have had mine for six months and couldn't be happier with it.

Privately it might make the car more attractive to a buyer, but forget any value with a dealer come trade time.

Full front XPEL tends to run about $2-2.5k in Sydney.

I had it done at a Xpel dealer in the Netherlands, I had the windows tinted as well and the bill was 2400 euros.
