Stop stone chips

[ljcarr]

Looking for small indiscreet mud flaps front and rear to help deflect stones away from the side of the car. Does anyone have any recommendations ?

Surely you mean discrete! 😜

Maybe we could get this lot to do some with a logo?! https://mymudflaps.com

i fitted these to my M2 https://www.rallyflapz.co.uk/bmw-m2-black-mudflaps-2924-p.asp - reasonably discrete and seemed to do the job. But they don’t list anything for a Porsche.

I'd rather fund another paint job than run around with those mudflaps 🤢.

I added a 981 specific PPF cut out for the the section behind the intake and believe it or not front spacers seem to help deflect the stones away.

My M2 was blue; they were remarkably discreet. It was an aesthetic/function compromise I was willing to accept. On doing a tight turn in a car park you could hear the grit bouncing off the doors.

PPF is what you need.

Thanks for the reply is guys, I know PPF is probably the way to go but I had it on another car I didn’t like it. It was too visible to me being a bit OCD. I kept seeing the very edge of it in different lights, and when it was dirty, and thinking the car was scratched.

With a white car I can understand you’d likely see any partial PPF. 

That said, if a whole panel is done you’d not see it at all. 

I have the side sills/intakes covered and looks fine.  There is a small partial piece at the rear of the wheel arch. I’m pretty OCD too and forget it’s there. 
 

Take a look at the pre cut kits here to see what we’re talking about (the rocker kit)

Worth it in my opinion. The road rash on my previous Boxster wasn’t a good look.

I think a lot has got to do with the skill of the installer. Like anything really skill is important but often unfortunately price is sometimes an influence when we look at things like Ceramic Coatings, PPF etc.  Of course I’m not saying @ljcarr this is the case with your previous experience if indeed you had the PPF fitted. But in my opinion done by really skilled applicators you shouldn’t see edges in PPF on major body panels.

My point exactly
