Rear wheel arch PPF extension or custom PPF piece?

Bergy4Selke37 · 01-14-2025, 10:18 AM

Anyone have their PPF installer make a custom/larger PPF piece to protect the rear wheel flares/arches from getting dinged and can share a photo? The factory piece on both the F80 and G80 is far to small imo.

E9X M3 rear wheel arch is not wide enough to require stone chip protection IMHO.

I am asking about the G80, in the G80 forum?

Totally my fault, didn’t realize the detailing/PPF section is a universal one even if you are in the G80 forums. Sorry about that!

No worries. I wasn't aware it was universal either. Hope u get the answer you're looking for.

My car is PPFed, but I also had them add a second layer in front of the rear arches because the film was getting chipped after only a thousand miles. I can't seem to get a clear picture of it but it's larger than stock.
