With such a wide representation of RS owners, I thought teamspeed was the best place/forum to ask ...

Have recently acquired a car with stickers for the first time and as such had some questions I would really appreciate your help on.

-Does it make sense to go for a full clear bra wrapping of the car knowing it might affect the stickers if removed? (I had the car treated with Pro-tec)
-Are stickers something we can replace if and when needed?
-Finally any advice on which product to got for? Am hearing 3M Venture Shield is good against all types of aggressions including vandalism-parking dents to a certain extent (sadly common in Dubai).

Thanks in advance

 

Yes. You can buy the stickers later on. Did it with the 3.8 ones to match the déco on my trailer.

 

I put on the film over 4.0 - I know I would have to get new decals should I ever remove the film in future, but that is a nominal cost in comparison.

 

I do not know what the 3M film cost but my friend, the cost of Porsche's stickers are hardly "nominal". They invoiced me the RS 3.8 decals € 900 i.e around 1200 $ @ current exchange rate!

 

was given a rough indication of usd 3-3.5k for the full clear bra in dubai

 

We use Venture Shield, good stuff.

 

+1, the stickers are very $$$. I failed to do my homework when i took mine off for clear bra; i wanted to remove the oem back fender clear bra to do a clean install of the new full wrap so I took off all of the stickers. you can probably find people who do vinyl stickers for much cheaper but if you have the white gold metallic trim, then you're out of luck as i heard it was a special order for porsche with high order minimums.

 

thanks gents...any more feedback...would have thought more of us use bras

 

I guess the cost of clear bra + new stickers is lower than re-painting body panels (and new stickers if you get some nasty stone chips)?
