OziShield supply "VentureShield' film pre-cut, or in any length that you want. It does a good job. I had mine on for 12 months and then decided to take it off and fit a larger piece to cover higher up the wheel arch. I also have it along the lower sills of the car. It can only be seen if you know it is there.

I have heard that with some of these products, you can just as easily take the paint off with them, when they are removed. So, on advice, I used a hair dryer to gently heat the film (not a paint heating gun!) and removed them slowly. No drama at all and the paint underneath was perfect. As you get better at working the film when wet, using a credit card or similar for shaping, you are able to go right up to edges and even round them if needed. The wheel arches on each Cobra seem to be different so it may be best to buy a metre of the product and make up template in paper and then go from there.
