Knew a guy that put this on his 56 reg Audi A3 that had every mod under the sun. He fitted it and within a week realized how bad it looked and removed it. Car looked all the better for it. He does like to experiment with his cars though, just 3 months back he fitted pink wheels!

If you are really serious about protecting the front of the car then look into getting some stone chip film that can be applied to the front.

Road dirt, dust and moisture etc gets under them and gently sands your paintwork!
I know this because My Trans Am had one when I bought it..
Mind you selling it on ebay almost financed the front end re spray

I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but fitting one of these for aesthetic reasons is like wearing a glow-in-the-dark condom outside your pants and not on your dick because you don't want to catch bad AIDS from the hookers you're chasing whilst waving it around.

I think anyway

Then again, I reckoned Stevie Ireland's girlfriend's Range Rover with the pink wheels was pretty cool. He swapped it for a white Bentley with red piping trim. Then eventually bought a sky blue R8 when City fans started taking the urine

do not do it unless you take it off regularly.

ventureshield by 3M is the best clear vinyl film to use.

i use it on my sills...

Thats the stuff I mean with regards to stone chip

Ninja59 · Oct 11th, 2012, 08:59

done properly you barely notice it over time it might discolour slightly. But ventureshield is well known for being the most resistant to it.

I too was thinking about a bonnet bra, but then nah let's see what vovlo guys say.
I only thought about it as my bonnet nose it quite badly pitted with chips right down to metal in few places.

Must admit that film looks a lot better option.
