Default "3M" clearbra. Who has it? Hood and fenders only or with front bumper?

I'm trying to build my business case for it, but da-yum, is it expensive.

Approx $700 for the foot or so of the hood, bits of the fender and front bumper...$400 or so for the front bumper alone.

Default Well, after my unfortunate incident with a pole, my front-end was repainted, so it's looking new and

I'd like to keep it like that.

Default I think I'm gonna skip on the clear bra. It's too expensive to justify. Just repaint the front...

every 3-5 years (if it gets bad enough).

Where did you get your front re-done? How much?

Default I would only clear bra the brand new factory paint

Otherwise, I would just repaint it once every 2 year, still cheaper and nicer than a bra.

Tell me, who likes bras and condoms?

Here is my review of clear bra.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/canada/msgs/136871.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/canada/msgs/136871.phtml</a</li></ul>

I almost hate the line worse the the stone chips, the cost seals the deal for me in not doing it.

Default Me....

On both the A6 and the S6.

Full front and mirrors. Just wish I could do the windshield.

Default I've already gotten a quote on that ;)

Cost me $750 to fix the hood, fix the fender (they "pulled" the fender and hood, so minimal cheese) and fix the bumper (heated it to remove the crease) + repaint the entire hood, bumper and both fenders...blending the fenders to the door.

The colour match is incredible. A little too much "orange peel" for my liking in some spots, but I broke ballz to get it done in 2 days.
