I put xpel on my one when i got it in 2016. First time I've ever used PPF so can't compare directly to venture shield, but i have no complaints about it. Was a chore putting it on, but I guess any of them will be. There isn't a mark on it anywhere, and is doing its job great. Only place its lifted is in a couple of very small creases on front mud guard, but that is at points where I struggled to get the creases out when fitting. I would certainly put it on another bike, but, next time I will likely try and get it fitted by a professional, just because I'm lazy!

no date as yet, im going to give them a call tomorrow. i did ask them over there about venture shield and the said they can get someone in to do it. ive all ways fit it and feel its as important as a rad guard to me. i ride with quite a few other sports bikes with stone flicking sticky tyres.

ive all ways fit my own venture shield and am getting quite good at it, just fancied the xpel but as its more money thought i would get a pro on it.
Never heard of xpel but see that www.glosppf.co.uk are experts and based in cheltenham....
if u do get dealer to fit it might qualify for forum discount.....

This is using Xpel Ultimate plus PPF which comes with a 7 year warranty.
Installation will take 2 days.
If you have any questions or would like to arrange an appointment then it would be great to hear back from you.
Kindest regards

I just got this and fell off my chair!!
I’m Oliver the Detailing and PPF manager at GVE London.
That’s a very nice bike you’ve got. We offer a XPEL PPF custom kit for Superbikes; We recently did a Ducati V4 full PPF kit.
Came out very nice, Customer was very happy.
When the bike came in, We cleaned the bikes paintwork and wheels via steam cleaning and pressure washer. Once that stage we complete we then machine polished the body to a high shine, Which also removes swirl marks and impurities.
Once my detailing team are happy with the paintwork we then apply a custom design PPF pattern for your BMW S1000RR.
The cost for the Full Kit is £2,100 + VAT. Which £350 of that is the Prep work.
The time taken is typically 2 days to complete.
If you are happy to go ahead, A small deposit of £250 is required to confirm our next available slot.

hiya, just my 2 cents worth....
i have had 2 motorbikes PPF'd using XPEL by professional outfit - total cost was around the 300 quid mark. (each)
well worth it imo - helps to keep the paintwork tip top, reduces stone chips / scratches and also makes it a lot easier to wash/clean.

FYI - i used a place called Race By Design - based in East Grinstead - the owner, Guy Adam, is a keen biker himself who does the work. They do all the PPF work for P&H motorcycles too - check out their website here https://racebydesign.co.uk/motorcycle-paint-protection/
He will be keen at that price. Replacement panels would be cheaper.
I'd not hesitate at 300 quid, and would pay the extra for the tank! Good that they have the kit for the gen4, I struggled to get it for the gen 3. Got it sent from America, nobody in the UK had the template/model or whatever it's called.
