Clear bra type protection from (or just outside) factory?

I would like to keep my car as mint as possible and plan on covering the front bumper, part of the hood, and the outside of the wheel wells with matte black vinyl when I get it here. But! What do I do to protect it in Germany other than drive 30 car lengths behind everyone? That would be pretty crappy to have rock chips in the paint before I get to protect it here.

Anywhere near the welt I can go have some type of protection applied? Maybe I'm getting worried for nothing?

Also any ideas of a pattern to apply the black vinyl that won't be too cheesy looking? I'm having a hard time picturing where to stop the vinyl...

I have a ton of extra vinyl after my e30 project. I didn't get very far because the vinyl peeled the old clear coat off when I was readjusting the vinyl but I got the trunk done and it looks awesome!
