I'm looking to get my car wrapped and wanted opinions about whether the bumper alone would be sufficient or if I should opt for the hood, fenders, and mirrors as well?

The bumper is my biggest concern and is what appears to take the most damage from highway driving.

I can have xpel ultimate installed on the bumper only for $375 or $750 for everything but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

You will want to wrap the entire front end for maximum protection. I personally have the majority of damage on the front 1/3 of my bumper where a partial kit would have saved it, but I also have chips all the way up on the hood and fenders near the windshield.

If it fits in your budget to get a full front end wrap, and you intend to keep the car long enough to see the benefits, then to me it is a good investment.

Thank you.

My car is a 2011 328i. Nothing super high-end but it's a nice car that's been well maintained and lady driven prior to me purchasing it in October.

I just had the front bumper resprayed because it got peppered really bad after our last snow. I even had to replace my windshield after it cracked from a rock hitting it.

Needless to say after spraying the bumper again I want to protect it I just wasn't sure how necessary the entire front end was in comparison to the bumper alone.

OP how much did the front bumper respray cost? I'll need to do the same this spring. Thanks.

I'm sure location and other things play a major factor but I only paid $300. The guy removed the front bumper and sanded it smooth and repaired damage done from scrapes on the bottom of the bumper from steep driveways and such.

Thanks OP. That's a good price.

I bought 15' of their bulk 6" wide roll for about $40 (several years ago, it's probably cost more now) and cut my own pieces for the front. Still have a lot left over.
