Rocker panel chips

Any pictures? I'm planning to get rocker panels and PPF installed, so it'd be nice to know exactly where.

PPF is a must for this car. I got my car last week and will be taking it into the body shop next week to have the front bumper repaired from rock chips. Unfortunately, this happened a day before my PPF appointment; not a happy camper right now

I'm doing the European Delivery in a couple of months. I'm trying to see if there's a way I can get PPF installed on the most vulnerable areas before driving it over there. I'm pretty sure I could install the film myself on the hood, rocker panels, perhaps even the front bumper, but it'd be risky in terms of finding a suitable place to wash the car and do the job.

I found a couple of old threads on this, but nothing that pointed me to a solution.

Has anyone found an installer near Munich or done the job themselves over there?

Thanks.

Contact Xpel, they should be able to provide a list of authorized distributor/installer in the area.
