The front grill and bumper are not done yet. the paint keeps comming of the grill .
The sides and bonet are done, but I want the bonnet strips to be made a little wider which they will do when it goes in for the grill. Also had the corners of the roof as well as the leading edge of the roof done.
Randburg branch did it . Very helpfull guys

Went on a little drive this weekend .No thorn bushes to test the vps. Clipped a dry branch which took a gouge out the plastic wheel arch trim and left a line in the dust along the door pannel . After washing the line was gone. Well impressed.

Paint repair/respray plus new mud flap will cost less than VPS no? 
Or was it a mud flat?

OK, OK, I'm just jealous OK? 
What is it like to wash the VPS? Easier than paint? And how does it look? Kinda plasticky,  or can't you see the diference. C'mon techno I.T Heine, post some pics!
