originally I wanted one for mine but only the OEM GTI one that was for sale in america but they are as rare a rocking horse poo. Now I've gone off the idea, I've recently had my bonnet resprayed and I did briefly want one but tbh theres too many corsa's and the like with them on round here so its put me well off now

Unless your car suffers badly from stone chips because of your lifestyle etc, there's absolutely no point fitting a bonnet bra, IMO.

The only thing I dont get is what about the rest of the front of the car. They only seem to protect such a small portion of the front. Not for me im afraid

^^^^ if your more paranoid than us peeps with just a bonnet bra then you can go "full gimp" to protect the whole front.

Before the haters slay me the first one, IT'S NOT MINE!!... :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:

I hate 'em.

Ok I understand that there might be some practical uses but I suspect the negatives outweigh the positives.
