Bodywork protectors

Advice please.
The clear film bodywork protectors just in front of the rear wheels on my car have crazed.
Where is the best place to get replacements?
and is using a hairdryer the best way to remove the old ones?
Thanks.
 
Hairdryer and care yes - but then a proper clean-up before applying the new ones! Some form of solvent to remove al traces of the old glue.
 
Removing these is a right game.
Mine are very old and must be the originals. On the main pads in front of the rear wheel they were dull and cracked.
I used a hair dryer and a piece of wood to remove the top layer of film. Then after googling used WD40 and a credit card to remove the glue residue. Quite a long job. Is that the way to do it?
Also very good paintwork underneath and I cannot see any marking on those that I have not yet taken off.
Do these protectors actually do any protecting? or can I just leave them off? One rear wheel arch protector has been missing for 25k miles with no marking of the paintwork.
Any opinions welcome. Thanks.

My S.2 is in for some cosmetic bodywork which will require removal of the front driver's side - behind the front wheel.
Does anywhere sell them separately or in pairs? Haven't tried OPC yet, but seeing this topic again, I thought I'd ask here first
 
In case anybody else is interested, they are available singly from your OPC. Ordered just the front driver's side for
£11.90 -10% + VAT, part no. 944 559 322 003YK
