Thanks Richard. I’m trying putting paint protection film next. Has anyone tried it.
I typed a long post responding to this and then my device died!
As Ruut Bianchi mentions, Xpel is an excellent product; I too have experience with that make of PPF and would recommend it. Not only is the self repairing quality impressive (light scratches will heal themselves when the film warms (from the sun - or simply warm ambient temps - you don't need to hold a hairdryer to the vehicle!
) but unlike some of the older products, it doesn't yellow over time. It also seems to be the go-to for many of the mainstream manufacturers (including JLR iirc) and if the customer factory orders it, this is what they fit. As an aside, when cars have a satin (matt finish), this is often achieved by installing a satin ppf rather than a clear one. The result is quite interesting because whilst the metallic of a paint still shows through, the result is closer to a matt finish than a gloss.
Approved Xpel dealer have access to cad files that allow them to cut the segments specifically for the intended vehicle. I cannot confirm whether Morgan have any cars on the database but a call your local installer will confirm that:

Lastly, in the UK, you should declare that you have PPF fitted to a car. The reason being that if the car needs to be repaired, there will be an additional cost to have the film reapplied. I have never had an issue with the insurance company increasing the annual premium but I have heard stories from others where they have!
