Rocker panel chips

[ilushka85]

Just letting everyone know the rocker panel near front wheel easily chips from rocks in normal driving.

Any pictures? I'm planning to get rocker panels and PPF installed, so it'd be nice to know exactly where.

PPF is a must for this car. I got my car last week and will be taking it into the body shop next week to have the front bumper repaired from rock chips. Unfortunately, this happened a day before my PPF appointment; not a happy camper right now

I'm doing the European Delivery in a couple of months. I'm trying to see if there's a way I can get PPF installed on the most vulnerable areas before driving it over there. I'm pretty sure I could install the film myself on the hood, rocker panels, perhaps even the front bumper, but it'd be risky in terms of finding a suitable place to wash the car and do the job.

I found a couple of old threads on this, but nothing that pointed me to a solution.

Has anyone found an installer near Munich or done the job themselves over there?

Thanks.

Contact Xpel, they should be able to provide a list of authorized distributor/installer in the area.
