Clear Door Edge Protection Kit — Alfa Romeo 4C (2015+)

Performance Garage | Genius Loci

The Alfa Romeo 4C is a car defined by precision and purity. Its lightweight carbon tub, sculpted bodywork, and narrow door openings make it one of the most unique modern sports cars—but those same features also make the door edges vulnerable in tight parking spaces.

This clear door edge protection kit provides a simple, nearly invisible solution designed specifically for the 4C. Made from high-quality Orafol paint protection film, the material wraps the door edge with a thin, optically clear layer that helps protect against chips, scratches, and contact with walls or neighboring vehicles.

Whether navigating crowded parking lots or loading passengers in tight spaces, this small addition helps preserve the finish of one of Alfa Romeo’s most distinctive machines.

Orafol 6 mil Clear Gloss PVC Laminate / Paint Protection Film

Optically clear protective film designed to blend seamlessly with factory paint.

What’s Included

• 2 long protective strips – enough to protect both doors
• 2 additional practice strips – helpful for learning how the material behaves around curves before installing the main pieces

The practice strips allow installers to become comfortable working with the film before applying the final pieces to the vehicle.

Protection Benefits

• Helps prevent paint chips and door edge damage
• Nearly invisible once installed
• Flexible film conforms around curved edges
• Maintains the original look of the vehicle while adding protection

This solution is particularly helpful for vehicles frequently parked in tight garages or narrow parking spaces.

Installation Overview

Installation is simple and requires no special tools.

Before installation:

• Thoroughly clean the door edge and surrounding area
• Ensure hands are clean to avoid trapping debris beneath the film

Basic installation steps:

1. Begin applying the strip at the bottom of the door edge

2. Slowly work upward while pressing the material firmly with your fingers

3. Wrap the film slightly around the inner edge of the door for secure adhesion

4. Apply steady pressure to remove any air bubbles

Because of the small installation area, wet installation is not necessary.
