How's tank tape stand up over time? Does it yellow etc? I'm thinking of shoving some on the sills to save people scraping my new paint to f*ck when they get in and out...

Sheets of carbon fibre, you know it makes sense. Although, I've never known paint get scraped off by a shoe heh.
I'd expect it to get scratched easily and start to peel at the edges. The 3M paint protection film is meant to be good,
You obviously haven't done enough miles then. The van's done 120 thousand odd, admittedly a lot as a florists van with a lot of getting in and out, but that's down to primer on the sill edge. Same with the bird's car that's only done 90 thousand, but then they are both shitroens.
Or UK eBay, under: "3M paint protection film"
A lot of VX220s have 'armour' on, which are essentially colour coded stickers that are cut to the shape of the body and stuck on to protect the paint. Might be worth a google to see what it actually is and whether you can buy a roll of it?
It's a lot cheaper on US ebay.
My 405 had done ~100k and it didn't do that. I'd be unimpressed if the 206 had at 30k heh.
In news: snipped-for-privacy@mid.individual.net, Iridium wittered on forthwith;
I'm knocking about in a 405 Diesel estate at the moment, long story, but that's done 200k and it's ok on that as well. The paint in the door shuts is far better than on the rest of the thing...
