I would rather worm the dog by hand live with a few stone chips than put a bonnet bra on a car  :sick:

Never had any comments other than p*ss taking. And no I'm not posting a pic of my Eddy wearing one for someone to bring it up at a later date! 


....No need for you to post one, Martin - The forum's 2013 calendar now has a shot of Miss October (your car) wearing a bra  :evilgrin:

Tbh i think they look total toss buuut i do run one on long  motorway journeys. For me its there to do a job and not about looks. It comes off as soon as i arrive at my destination. Tbh its down to personal preference imo.  :smiley:

Spot on Gazon! I'm with you there, I think they look sh1t as, I'd rather take the stone-chips than have that on my car. I can sort of understand it if you're really  into detailing and exhibiting your car at shows, but then I don't really understand that for Golfs. For me, these are every-day cars to be driven, if you want to do all that mallarky, get yourself an Austin Healey or a TR6! I go down to North Devon quite a lot, and like you I'd consider one for the journey down, but that would be it.

I am sick of stone chips!!
My car gets on the motorway and gets off 35 miles later  Mon-Fri, only just put it on yesterday.

It will probably come off on Friday night!
Should have been £65 but auction on ebay ended at stupid o'clock in the morning so only paid £12 inc postage.

I do my fair share of motorway miles - M1 and M27 mostly but also plenty of fast A-road dual carriageways such as A3 and A34, and I rarely suffer from stone chips etc. With a carbon bonnet I'm not so fussed anyway - It ain't gonna rust.

seems I opened up a can of worms with this thread, they certainly look interesting, my car is met black,,, from what I can see its the best colour car to have one of these fitted.
my bonnet isn't to bad for chips but I may get a bonnet respray done after next xmas, just had the car 3 months and takes a while to get through all the jobs tbh.
I watched a film last night called three amigos with nick nolte,,,, from the eighties - remember it - ????
anyway there was a red Porsche on there with a black bonnet bra  :sick:
it looked shocking lol and wtf did they call it a bra ????
they could have called it something like a stone killer,,,,, black death,,, or that fooking annoying advert on tv that is on right this minute with that plonker I want to strangle selling cillit bang, barry scott his name is,,,, most annoying guy on tv,,,, just want to hurt him  :evilgrin:
they could have called it the cillit bang wrap  :stupid:
anyway cheers guys  :happy2:
