Default Bonnet Protector Reviews

Evening all

I've been pondering the idea of buying a smoked plastic bonnet protector but are they a nice option or a tacky add on that's best avoided?

What are peoples opinions?

bra's "usually" hold boobs,, so best avoided unless looking like a tit is your thing

if it is protection from stone chips etc you are looking for, perhaps look at a Clear vynal to wrap the paintwork @ the front with, let that take the hits ,,

Depends if you want to show your car. If you do it's essential. If you want to drive it, get a grip
