Rambo Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 So, PPF a luxurious expense or total waste of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abgreenbank Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) well i couldnt really care as long as it doesnt have pebble dash front , if after 4 years and only 14k try the PPF warranty XPEL, Inc. (the “Company”) expressly warrants to the owner that, for a period of ten (10) years (the “Warranty Period”) from the date of initial installation, the Company will cover defects on ULTIMATE FUSION (the “Product(s)”) such as: yellowing, cracking, blistering, and delaminating. This Limited Warranty only applies to the Company’s Products which are professionally installed in the manner recommended by the Company. You could say PPF is a bit like flying business class, its a luxury (no) and a total waste of money (yes) but I won’t fly economy if there is an option, The limited benefits totally outweigh the cost in my opinion Edited December 20, 2022 by Abgreenbank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM C8RKH Posted December 20, 2022 Gold FFM Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 @Abgreenbank it is not yellowing etc, it is ripped PPF from stones, and yes it was XPEL and yes it was professionally installed. Not covered by warranty, how often have you heard that lol..... I'm happy I did it. No regrets. Just don't fool yourself into thinking it will be perfect for 10 years. Also, it needs a bit of a polish too, just like paint.... Quote I came into this world screaming and covered in someone elses blood. I'll probably leave it in the same way.

Popular Post Abgreenbank Posted December 20, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 Not seen that in all my other cars, but don’t worry I’m not expecting it to be perfect in 10 years, and the areas that are double covered will be replaced when needed. The widscreen PPF is a different material and has a much more limited life, and I am fully anticipating replacing much more frequently. it’s damage mitigation rather than total prevention, and I hate stone chips, kerbed alloys and dirty alcantara steering wheels! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerzybondov Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 If that picture tells us one thing, it’s that if you’re ordering an Emira in yellow, you really, really want to be speccing the upper black pack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramjet Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I thought exactly the same thing looking at the photo. Can't be all yellow. Loses something, that's for sure.

Rambo Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I don't normally like black packs, but I agree, it does suit the yellow Emira. Makes it look more like a ragtop (from a distance, if you squint your eyes and haven't been to Specsavers for a while) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerzybondov Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I think it's also because yellow and black go together REALLY well. Black packs tend to suit lighter colours best, but yellow probably best of all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Emiralust Posted December 21, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 I've ordered non black pack so I have no choice but to disagree! I spent so long staring at the black pack it started to look like it was trying too hard for me and had a ricer effect. I find the non black classy. When I saw that photo previously I was glad I made that choice personally. I also decided it was much more sensible to spec the roof in the colour then just wrap it black if I regret it and for a saving. Much rather that than the other way round. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abgreenbank Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 (edited) If you did not order the black roof and are desperate, just get it wrapped in black Edited December 21, 2022 by Abgreenbank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramjet Posted December 21, 2022 Report Share Posted December 21, 2022 It is quite possible that if the photo had been taken beside another Emira that was not yellow with the black pack, that the 'look' may well be quite nice. The angle of the photo may not help either. 1 Quote All we know is that when they stop making this, we will be properly, properly sad.Jeremy Clarkson on the Esprit. Opinions are like armpits.

Rambo Posted December 27, 2022 Report Share Posted December 27, 2022 Looks like the Fife Arms in Braemar to me? What was once a rambling, damp, underdeveloped Victorian pile has been totally transformed into a boutique 5 star hotel, top notch food and expensive art hung in the very upmarket surroundings. Considered now to be one of THE best hotels in Scotland 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
