Factory Matte Protective Film

Anyone order their defender with this option? When applied by the factory, do they lap the edges?
watched this and it's put me off ordering from factory

The OCTA I looked at seemed complete no edges showing

The ones I've seen from factory do not have wrapped edges. I'm assuming they do this to speed up the time it takes to install at the factory.

So the vehicle is £155,000 and it comes with paint that needs an extra protective film costing over £4,000?

I went with aftermarket satin PPF after looking at the factory option. They don’t wrap the edges, door handles or door handle access area. Cost was similar to tint , PPF, ceramic coat & do the plastics as factory option in Oz. I’m very happy with the results.

That's a lovely looking 90. l wanted the white roof on mine but it wasn't possible at the time. l may get the roof wrapped in white.

Thanks Lightning, your 90 looks great as well, Tasmin blue was a very close 2nd on our list of colours. Get the white roof 😁
