Default Chassis Protector V2 Designs - Your Input

Guys,

Our chassis protectors have been well received and feedback for screw holes are overwhelming considering the product takes some beating to show any signs of scratches before needing to access screws...bit of a waste then!

Whilst we are updating this (B6 & B6D launching first - because we can...and likely to be racing one ) we decided to give the design an update too.

Please help us out by providing your feedback on the designs - essentially would you use one!

To thank you for your input, the first 10 responses will be offered 1x existing and 1x new version FREE - you just have to pay for the cost of postage (due to size its a small parcel at £3.30). ...if anyone not wanting to take the offer I will move down the list to the next person...Sorry offer to UK address only (international is around £18!)

I hope I get at least 10 responses

Cheers!

With screw holes I would be interested in!
Had a nice matt vinyl carbon effect one on my EMB-1 Micro that had screw holes.
Not too sure why other other manufacturers don't do this, as you often need access to the gearbox/front end to alter weight bias, diff tuning nowadays.

I am in!

Yeah I'd love to test, I agree that screw holes are very useful. The designs look good too.

The 3rd and 4th are my favorites. Mostly dark with a splash of colour/text.

I'm definitely in favour of protectors with screw holes! So I'm really interested! ...B64 as well please!
Talking about graphics I would prefer a less colourful scheme, like the second from top.
Well done!

Guys,
I've amended the post - I specifically needed feedback or suggestions on the DESIGNS...

My bad! This initial posting was around 4am. The people responded counts! Would you come back on with your view on designs please...

I know you will love the performance of the product, and we have decided to update with screw holes - I just want to make sure the design is right to suite most tastes.

Would you prefer colourful loud designs or a plain subtle look?

To give you an idea, our original ones are quite plain, but you may prefer it:

I can only presume most producers are from the US and they race on mainly dirt tracks so screws packed with dirt was a key factor - but you're right with current generations of cars with multiple transmission layouts etc. its a necessity.

Really like the simple original design, and the green design 3. I agree that screw holes are needed, having used vinyl to cover chassis and screws in the past it is just a pain to work on the car without them.
I also like the 4th design, but for me it'd have to be in green or pink

Agree: simple design without too much colour. Too many chances it's going to fight with the bodyshell paint job.
The text is also pretty nice.
The last one just posted is ok! In general I like a black or dark background with simple graphics in one neutral colour.

Design wise - you'll find a carbon print type design would be very popular with screw holes, maybe keep some coloured options as well but like other people have already stated, coloured chassis skins may clash with bodyshell designs.

I would def order if Carbon or plain black skin was available with screw holes.

Can you tell me a bit more about the material and the thickness ?
