Pannier protection film - anyone fitted it themselves?

[virginiajim]

I didn't have too much trouble with mine as they were installed in the summer heat.  However, I made the mistake I've trying to fit the headlight assembly.    and finally gave up in frustration.  Knock on wood, I haven't had any rocks hole the plastic lens yet.

I used a specialist in Newbury who came to the house and did all the panels - nice bloke, good job with no bubbles!

Techspec have a product out now that protects that area of the pannier against boot scrapes.

Looks good on a black GTR but it'd stand out like a sore thumb on a magnesium one. Shame they dont seem to do them in different colours.

Maybe cut up an old Pirelli and rivet it on - should look about as professional as that abortion

I think the top portion looks fine but the scalloped part down the front is definately not my cup of tea.

Change yours for a green one.

Steve .... they have clearly made it in the only decent colour there is for a Gtr .... GREEN.

Bah bloody humbug, we magnesium GTR owners are discriminated against, it's a disgrace!

Spurred on by this thread I bought a metre of 3M clear protective filem from eBay .  Arrived today, so I cut a paper template and then transferred that to the vinyl.  Put it on with a hot air blower and a soft cloth, onto a wetted surface and it went on a treat.  Barely visible at all and not at all from more than a few feet away.
