Intermediate PPF

Extended Front End & Side Sill Coverage

Protection for all High Impact Panels

Unfortunately, stone chips don’t stop at the front bumper. At motorway speeds, road debris hits the bonnet, wings, mirrors, sills and A-pillars just as hard as the front bumper – and those panels are just as expensive to repair or respray.

Our Intermediate PPF option extends coverage to all of them, giving you a more complete front-end and side defence without going to full-car coverage. It’s the right step up if you do real miles, drive on fast roads regularly, or simply want to know that the most vulnerable forward-facing panels are protected.

What’s Included with our Intermediate PPF

Industry-leading XPEL PPF is applied across six key areas of the vehicle:

  • Front bumper
    The first point of contact with road debris at speed

  • Bonnet
    The largest surface area most exposed to stone chips

  • Front wings
    Vulnerable to debris thrown up by the front tyres

  • Door mirrors
    Frequently chipped and awkward to repair

  • Side sills
    Exposed to low-speed scuffs, stone chips and road spray

  • A-pillars
    Hit by wind-driven debris at motorway speeds, often overlooked

  • Headlights
    Difficult to repair and expensive to replace (conditions apply)

Each panel is designed in house and cut to fit your vehicle precisely. The film sits almost invisibly over the paintwork, following the car’s lines and wrapping around edges for a superior finish.

XPEL’s self-healing technology means light scratches in the film surface disappear over time with heat exposure, keeping everything looking clean with minimal maintenance.

Who Is Intermediate PPF For?

This option suits drivers who want more than just front-end protection, but haven’t decided on full-car coverage. It’s a strong fit if:

  • You cover regular motorway or A-road miles where stone chip risk is highest
  • Your car has previously picked up chips on the wings or sills and you want it properly covered going forward
  • You’ve just taken delivery of a new vehicle and want protection from day one
  • You drive a high-value, satin or matte finish car where any damage is disproportionately expensive to correct

It’s also a popular choice for drivers who started with the Essential package on a previous car and want additional coverage this time around.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Essential Protection Package covers the front bumper and bonnet with XPEL PPF (with a ceramic coating to all other panels), while the Intermediate option extends PPF coverage to the front wings, mirrors, side sills , A-pillars and headlights (but doesn’t include any ceramic coating). If you drive regularly at speed or want more complete front-end and side protection, the Intermediate option is the stronger choice. Furthermore, ceramic coatings can be integrated into any of our PPF packages, speak to the team for further information.

Comprehensive PPF covers every painted surface on the vehicle — including the doors, rear quarters, roof and boot. Intermediate PPF focuses on the highest-risk panels at the front and sides. If you want complete peace of mind across the whole car, Comprehensive is the only choice.

When installed by our expert technicians, PPF is designed to be virtually invisible. Our bespoke, in-house developed templates maximise coverage, with virtually all accessible edges wrapped to create a seamless, factory-quality finish. On gloss paint, XPEL PPF enhances depth and clarity, while on satin finishes it faithfully preserves the original texture and appearance, ensuring the film is barely noticeable once installed.

Yes, though the condition of the paintwork matters. We’d always recommend a thorough inspection before installation, and in some cases a detail or paint correction beforehand. We can advise on that when you get in touch.

It depends on the vehicle and condition, but as a general guide, an intermediate installation typically takes one to two days. We’ll confirm the expected timeframe when you book.
