Anyone used one? any thoughts? do they end up scratching the bonnet as ive heard? Cheers in advance.
-
ive got 1 and use it for long motorway journeys etc, mines not scratched yet but i always make sure the cars really clean before i use it.
id never leave 1 on in the rain either, as my mate did on his lupo and had to have the bonnet re-painted
-
Ive got a bonnet bra for my car.
I mainly stick it on in the winter but ive recently started using it in the summer to help save my bonnet from flys :fighting:
Ive not had any problems with it at all with regards to it scratching the paint mainly because im very careful with it, But this is probably due to the fact that i never let my car get dirty enough to have lots of dirt on the bonnet anyway. The scratching is caused by bits of dirt etc getting under the bra then due to the bra vibrating in the wind it causes the dirt to scratch the paint. Also evertime i clean my car the bra comes off and i hoover the inside.
As per the looks to be honest im hit or miss sometimes i like it sometimes i dont
Fitted to my old GT-Sport

As you can tell, I got one of the OEM plush US spec bras :laugh:

^^ how did you get yours??

^^ how did you get yours??
Phoned loads of US dealers on the east coast until I found one willing to ship and accept payment from overseas. Though I believe ECS tuning carried them for awhile as well.

I got mine from ECS, don't think they stock them anymore though....

I only ever put it on after cleaning, try not to leave it on when raining but have been caught out a few times, never caused any problems though!
-
I ran one on my polo 9n3 when i had it, used it all winter and never had any problems, paintwork was still fine and unscratched even though it sometimes got left on for a few weeks at a time even in rain and snow etc!

Not sure if they will ship to the UK but might be worth an ask if anyone wants OEM Bras?
