I wear my pin stripes proudly but I'm still sulking over the mess caused by a branch falling down the side of my car. Even caused a dent (not pictured) This just one pic of the results

I think the one from Fastmag is cheaper at about half the price compared to the ebay item. The magnet should look good on a white 120 as the curves are better suited to the magnetic sheet.

Hi Melbo,
1st time posting photo,s so hope it works.
Have found old receipt from 2010 with cost & supplier.
COLORFastmag in Northcote Melbourne. WWW.Fastmag.com.au or (03) 9482 6733
Cost was $176 for 622mm X 8mts X .9mm (around $23 metre) not exsessive when considering the cost of repairing clearcoat & paint.
Rear passenger door is nor as flush due to contour of this door.[img=http://img835.imageshack.us/img835/4970/copyofimag0042.th.jpg][/IMG]

Thanks Rayd. Appreciate you posting the photos. I will give the supplier a call and see if they have any dark colored magnets which match the graphite color.

Cheers,
Melbo.

One issue with magnet is if it gets wet underneath and you leave it on, it will "root" the paintwork in some cases. Seen quite a lot of it with magnetic signs.

The difference is the magnetic signs are left on all the time, where as if you just get them for protection when 4wding, you take them off in a day or so.

I have seen damage after 30 hours before on one of our work vehicles. Left a mark that required a clay bar polish to get out. Just be warned.
