Protec magnetic panels to protect bodywork when off-road
This was found by Gurvan in another thread, but I thought it was so interesting it deserved it's own thread.
See http://www.protec-magnet.com/PMlandrover/landrover1.html
They sell magnetic panels that protect the paintwork from scratches when going off-road. Looks an excellent idea.
Maybe worth organising a group purchase and help on the european shipping costs/import. Anyone speak French? Matt

neat... shame there are none for the wheels as this is where I get most of my scratches.
Did anyone here already buy such magenetic panels?
Do they stay on well? Are they easily attached/removed? Do you like them?
Thanks,
Klaas

Sadly no photos of a D3 in this livery but I like the sound of the "Protec magnet Zebra" Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)

This week end in Burgundy, I could test for the first time my protect magnet kit.
I added some stickers there.
Result this morning after washing, the body is perfect although the plastics are very marked by the vegetation of the ways which we took.

They won't protect the edge of the bonnet or the A and B pillars. Like Simon says, the wheels cop the most damage.

Depends what you define as expensive?
There's a 17" set on ebay for £500 (are they BJP's?) - and since my disposable income is generally disposed of on my behalf every month by others, thats reasonably expensive Steve N | 21MY Defender | 08MY Discovery 3 (history) | 06MY Discovery 3 (ancient history)
