Have you got some pics you could post with the ventureshield? Have always been a bit skeptical about how they look on dark cars

On the venture shield I have a question regarding polishing etc

I have it on the lotus and it has obviously helped being on a car used mainly on track but on a normal car that you may care about more how do you polish/detail it etc? Is there any point?

I can't on those pics to be fair. Any chance of one showing the edges?

My mate has Porka Turbo and the factory film has a tendancy to trap rubbish along the edges.

My understanding is it can be polished by some1 who knows what theyre doing, but it does seem to my mind anyway to restrict what you can do as presumably you have to get some special stuff for it.

D_K should be able to chime in.

The one on the lotus has been on for four years now and it is starting to show its age as there is definite difference in colour between paint and shield

Look forward to seeing it withthe new wheels.
Reckon you could have had it for a mere £1750 or so uplift on the Exclusive paint sheme?
