one thing I noticed is the sharpness of the edges, I'm gonna run the dremmel over before i put them on the car or i can see some full-on paint damage in the future.

Not shabby, a bit tricky to line up though because as soon as it touches, its done.

Hi Craig, well it is finally done and looking good - well done ! ;).
We had the more "Expensive" Nissan Illuminated Parts installed from new and they look good but with all these parts you still end up with scuffs and marks outside of the areas covered. There are people with short legs, long legs, older people etc and always there appears the occasional mark depending how you enter the QQ.
I bought some Tesa Foil Protection Strips that I made Templates for and then cut to shape. These do not cover the radial edges where these marks appear and I think I might have another go to improve this. Take a look at the attached pic (Radius unprotected) - Dave ;)
If you have not already seen my 2014 Post which covers two subjects then take a look it might set your brain in action :D

Dave,

Thats damn awesome! think I'm gonna order a few of these in various sizes for different parts of protection.

will it fold around the edge of the door? or is it really rigid?

I would actually just go for that instead of the chrome entry guards, the scratching thing for me was the sharpness of the edges of the sill protectors which i gave a light sanding to smooth out. I think those edges will damage the paint in the long term though and should have use this vinyl first.

Well you've convinced me - I've ordered the set off Amazon - at the current lower price of £27.99. I shall pay close attention to the edges and make sure they're well rounded off before fitting.
