  1. Greetings! My first post although I'm yet to be a Seven owner - it's on order! While I'm waiting the wait (probably another 11 months!) I've been exploring rear wing protection options and wondered what people's experiences were. I've obviously found a few bits and pieces on here but not much that seemed to discuss them all in one place. So far as I can see there are three main options: 1) Go for painted fiberglass rear wings with protectors, and then get them resprayed as and when I can no longer bear the sight of the stone chip damage. 2) Go for painted fiberglass wings, protectors and PPF, and then hope the PPF does it's job. 3) Go for carbon fibre rear wings and hope that money can solve the problem! Any thoughts and recommendations from the crowd? To my surprise it seems that resprays look as though they might be cheaper than the PPF option - but I guess it depends on how long the wings last before they need some sort of remedial work. A few other questions, apologies if they're a trifle mundane! - How fast will a painted wing sporting only protectors last before it's chipped to death? I know this will depend on lots of factors (speed and roads in particular) but a general feel would be good. - Does the self-healing PPF work? i.e. would it take a brick to do any damage? - I'm assuming the CF wings are not impervious to damage but no-one ever seems to protect them with sacrificial protectors in the same way as the painted wings. How do they compare to PPF for stone chip resistance? - Are the CF wings impervious to the under-arch damage that the fiberglass wings can suffer (i.e. star cracks)? Any advice gratefully accepted!
