car bra on the mk5
« on: January 08, 2009, 10:45:49 am »
put this on today thanks to Matt a and i like it and it should stop me getting hit with stone over the the summer and will only go on in dry wheather. and it could do with a bit of heat for the leather to stretch  a bit





i think it works with the black roof

If you're going to leave it on all the time, be very careful about grit getting under the edges and rubbing against the paint... they're a bugger for it.

Looks ace though with the roof!

yep, the grit will dull the paint after a while. that happened on my anni for a while. but they were only light marks so came straight out with one pass of a Porter cable, and no stone chips! ;)

Sweet, that's all I do with mine - keeps the flies and chips off for show convoys.

Have you got the full jobbie, or just the bonnet?? if the former and if you have them, remember to disable the headlamp washers in VAGCOM.

this would worry me, possibly cause as much if not more damage as stones would
