I love off-road driving, but also want a nice car without scratches.

Excellent idea - interesting to see how well it works

Brilliantly spotted
As I have allready ordered the front/rear lamp guards and the bumper styling cover I 'll have to wait untill my finances cure or my birthday comes.
Wonder if used on normal roads or city there would be no legal issue as it alters the car's color and appearance.
The kit I saw here appears to be sort of blue which should not be a problem to me as in my car registration is just written blue and I see there is also a black available (happy CG) but what if the car is white and you put a black protection?
Before I buy I'll have to check what the law is over here. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER

It does say on the site that it can't be used at high speeds.

But for offroad, it would be a good idea, although I'm too late, as I've already got battle scars to show for my offroading.

700 Euros for a kit... It seems to me that the scratches will be cheaper to fix than to protect against...

Another solution. I think it is not so solid. Thin and must be destroyed.

It consists of a mixture of magnetic material and polymer plastic. They are easy to apply and remove, are printable and easily to cut for the purpose of obtaining disparate shapes and sizes.
The sheets are available in magnetic coils with height 100 cm and given in length. The thickness of the paper is 0.9 mm with traction of magnetic gr.30 per cm ². Color white on the outside, black on the magnetic.
They can be designed, printed and cut with ordinary scissors.
It is used as temporary signs for vehicles, as warning signs, magnetic boards, gadgets advertising, reminders, labels, etc. .. They can be applied simply appoggiandole and removed in an instant without leaving traces --


Euro 68.00 per metre (height cm. 100)

I was not thinking of high speads but just if you can put this on omly just before off-roading or you can go to the local supermarket as well-legally speaking - as the normal color of the car might change the general appearance and one might get fined. I asked a lawyer friend over here and there should be no issue for me as the color would still be blue but I would have a huge problem if I would take the black cover. The predominant color has to be the one in my registration - at least with a little bit of blue.This does off course apply only for the normal/official roads and not for where the trail begins and where you do not even need a licence to drive.

Well if you want protection when parking at the local supermarket why not cellotape cardboard box panels along the sides of your FL2 - much cheaper and will certainly catch an eye or two  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

Can't remember where I saw it but there is a film out that automatically repairs itself when it becomes scratched, and is clear so you can't notice it is on the car.

Think I read that Mitsubishi ? was experimenting with an auto scratch repair paint but only for the Japanise market. They surely must get lots of scratches over there.  FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER
