#1 Rubber stone protection?

Post by No Quarter » Fri May 19, 2023 3:50 pm

My painter asks if he's to make lower parts of car with rubberized stone protection. A few months ago I would have said no, 1963, and never read about it. But this ad made me think? So I ask here.
And if yes, also behind front wheels? Also low part of bonnet? And how far up?

Mikael, I suggest it is for you to decide whether and how much. I’ve seen cars with and without stone guard and in all the areas you ask about. Both of mine have it all underneath. That’s my thoughts for what they are worth.
