## Why Protect Your Nissan Kicks?
The Nissan Kicks is a discontinued model, making preservation critical for maintaining its value. As a rare sight on the road, a well-kept Kicks will stand out in the used car market.
### The Discontinued Reality
- **Nissan Kicks Spare Parts Price:** The cost of replacement body panels is significant. For instance, a **Front Bumper costs ₹20, 829**, a **Head Light unit costs ₹37, 629**, and a **Front Windshield costs ₹26, 388** . Protecting these parts is far cheaper than replacing them.
- **Nissan Kicks Spare Parts Availability:** While you can still source OEM spares, they are not as cheap as mass-market Maruti parts.
- **Vulnerable Design:** The sharp 'V-motion' front grille and the large flat bonnet are stone-chip magnets.

## Our Protection Services for the Kicks
### 1. Paint Protection Film (PPF) – The Invisible Armor
Given the Kicks’ sharp design and discontinued status, a **full front PPF package** is the single most effective way to prevent stone-chip damage and preserve the car's original paint.
**Why PPF is Essential for the Kicks:**
| Benefit | What It Means for Your Kicks |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Stone Chip Defense** | Shields the prominent V-shaped grille, bonnet edge, and mirror caps. |
| **Self-Healing Technology** | Minor scratches and swirl marks vanish with heat exposure. |
| **UV Protection** | Prevents the white and silver paint from yellowing. |
| **Hydrophobic Top Coat** | Water, road grime, and bird droppings slide off effortlessly. |
**Kicks‑Specific PPF Coverage Areas:**
| Coverage Zone | Why It’s Critical |
| :--- | :--- |
| **Full Front (Bumper, Grille, Bonnet, Headlights)** | The sharp 'V-motion' nose is a stone-chip magnet . |
| **Door Sills & Handle Cups** | High-wear zones from daily entry/exit. |
| **Boot Loading Sill (401L Cargo Area)** | Protects the rear bumper from luggage scratches. |
| **A-Pillars & Roof Line** | Exposed to debris at highway speeds. |

### 2. 9H Ceramic Coating – The 'JDM' Gloss Enhancer
