I use a paint protection film from HEXIS company (film bodyfence).
I have cut stripe of 6cm width and applied in the leading edge.
Invisible, stone shipping proof, and allow easy cleaning.

Re: Leading edge protection
I'm using Aerotect paint protection film for the nose gear and it works great. It's almost invisible.

Re: Leading edge protection
I found them this weekend, and just saw your thread. It's seems reasonable for the money if it does the job. One area that I have wondered about however is the area around the fuel caps. I noted while at the London ON factory a few weeks ago that the twin has this protection. After speaking with Jason at Aerotect https://www.aircraftpaintprotection.com/DA-40_c_24.html he said they could make some for me to try. I'll let you know how it ends up. It would be a shame to chip our new NG.

Re: Leading edge protection
I installed the leading edge protection on the wing root of the DA40 and it seems like good protection thus far.
However, the DA40 tow bar / nose wheel protection pieces do not fit the NG and they had no idea when / if they would have something for the NG.
