No personal experience of it though.

Just had a quote from my local supplier to fit the venture sheild to the bottom section of the bonnet and surounding front area - The product looks great but the quote was £500 plus.

I would like to here from anyone who has fitted the DIY film thats on offer on e-bay.

That is really over the top. I had the whole front and side sections of my elise done for £340. Try and call ventureshield direct. I'd be really surprised to see that prices have gone up that much.

I'm aware of a few people that have bought the ventureshield stuff to do themselves, have seen some terrible kits off ebay on elises so would suggest paying a bit more for a known kit. Having seen it done I would think it can be done as long as you spend the time to prep the areas properly.

Only joking with you Andrea, but if you want to try it I guess if it's no good for your bonnet you can always wrap your sandwiches in it.

Still looks like 'Cling Film' to me.

Ps: I've just had a look at their feedback reports and the customers seem happy enough, so maybe I was a bit hasty. Apologies if I upset anyone.

Has any one checked the spellnig on the titel of this thread?

Halfords sell a Ventureshield kit for car bonnets (made by Ventureshield, branded Halfords), alongside their smart repair bits and pieces in store. I can't remember if it costs £25 or £40, whichever way, it's not going to break the bank.

daviep.sco · 4th May 2007, 21:03

Has anyone got any of them yet? Looks intersting. Should stop some of the stone chips

sco77harris · 4th May 2007, 21:06

i would be interested, if someone could find the price out,

Bog · 4th May 2007, 21:14

Venture Shield are just around the corner to me, I may pop and see them one day next week and get some prices.

Dawson · 4th May 2007, 21:23

I'll pass. I looked into it with the Focus, doing it decently will costs in the region of £600. I'd rather have a few stone chips.

sco77harris · 4th May 2007, 21:26

that is quite steep id pay 300, if you can pop in would be interesting to see the price

apemonkeyman · 4th May 2007, 23:01

The only ones I have seen get a line form along the edge, part way up the bonnet where the edge of the adhesive can gather crap. If the designed them so they had their edge on a seam or edge of a panel then that would get around the problem. I have heard tho that it is cos the width of the roll of film is not great enough to cover the whole bonnet.

sco77harris · 5th May 2007, 11:21

it seems someone there paid 350 for full elise, but someone was qouted 500 for the civic front section, i reckon we could get it cheaper direct and make a how to, i wouldnt mind paying 300 for it, i reckon it would aid resale too

czechplastik · 5th May 2007, 12:26

Not worth the money.

Charles_Harding · 5th May 2007, 13:11

I think I'll stick with me chips!

That stuff looks real naff!

Bet it scratches like mad

.....and it'll defuse me shine!

Not worth it imo. For that money I am sure you could just get a respary, so may aswell let the chips gather for a year or so then get the front repainted.

My Uncle has that stuff on his year old silver Porsche and its going yellow! Looks worse than a few chips.

I have Ventureshield on my black Toyota Prius and it's crap, really crap. It was £400 poorly spent. The film is dreadful quality (dots and blips in it), it scratches like buggery and it does get punctured from chips. And, yes, it was fitted by Ventureshield. I'm selling my car to Honda end of the month and the first thing they are doing is removing the film. I am really dissapointed with it and was expecting so much after reading the full page ads in EVO magazine every month.
