Of rather Vauxhall Insignia Country Tourer as it’s called in the U.K.
The plastic looks like it bonded to the panel rather than a different and specific panel for the different models of Insignia.
So I think it’s a matter of whether the cladding is bonded and can be removed or whether there are a few holes where it’s clipped on and just need filled and touched up.

They should have been doing this before crossovers became the thing and when Volvo was selling tons of Cross Country wagons. Instead Buick had mushy old people crap cars.

I think they are trying to sell them to people who think they are getting something so much more than just some added plastic but a lot of added protection.

That’s what I’m hoping.
So some enterprising or ambitious individual can just pop them off, fill in the holes with filler and then paint.

They are ‘much more’ in Oz. V6 engine and top specifications only in the Tourer.

I was meaning that the plastic cladding eludes those buyers that there is more strength, more durable and can handle a lot brutality.
Where it’s only rubbing protection only.

Stone chips on lower body paint are a thing when driving dirt roads in Australia...

I’ve noticed in the last few years more and slightly checker-plate shielding along the lower valance of the car, sometimes painted black and slightly rubbery to the touch or body colour painted. They might of been there longer but I’ve only just noticed in the last few years.
Whatever it is it seems to wonders for keeping stone chips down, unfortunately it doesn’t hold up to new drivers who take corners too sharply and damage the car on rather large stones (my colleague’s son had been driving two weeks when he put a foot long scrape along the lower valance on the driver’s side when he caught it on a large stone in the driveway next to the flower bed).
