Armourfend are established in UK. See (wait for it) http://www.armourfend.com/

I'll attach the prices they gave me today, an illustration of the set of parts and a couple of pics of finished results. Since you're in NI you will probably need to install it yourself (they provide instructions), but Armourfend will do the installation in Essex for about ?125. With vat, that makes a total of ?523 for the full set, installed. As usual, rip-off vs. same thing in USA.

PS Can anyone tell me how to attach jpegs as thumbnails that link to the full-size versions?

I just ordered the front bonnet section only. It should arrive by the end of the week. The company seems very professional and friendly.
I hope the product will be as good

Peter, I'll be very interested to hear how you get on - how easy it was to fit and, in due course, how effective it proves. My car doesn't arrive until late-March, so I have a llittle time to decide whether to apply film.

Its a definite must. Just thought I would give you brothers across the pond my observations:
I had all the options installed except for the headlights and door handles. You can not see it unless you know its there and are looking for it. And it sure beats having rocks hit your hood and/or bumper at 80 mph. Cheers mates!

Thanks, mad Indian - I'll go for it. And cheers to you too!
