Post by: simonpolly on 02 July 2009, 19:24

im not sure really, i like em on mk2's cause there a square car and the straight lines of it looks good on there if you get me, im not as sure if they look as good on a curvy car really but on certain new cars they do look good, but on a standard new car? i probably wouldnt get one. that just my opinion tho  :grin:

They seem to be quite fashionable at the moment. You have to be careful that debris doesn't get inside and not leave them on for too long - A bit like underpants really.

I travelled in the company of two Mk5 GTI's on a long road trip recently and they both had bonnet bras, so I saw a lot of them. I'm afraid that I think they look absolutely ghastly!

Be carefull not to leave it fitted too long as it can and will cause paint problems.

each to there own and all that lol  :grin:, but i like them on older cars rather than newer ones. And as stated take it off everytime you wash the car if you can, ive waxed undermine a few times just to give added protection against the moisture build up  :smiley:

Personally I think they are the most stupid looking things that have ever been invented - hence why they are so popular - NOT.

Dont do it Dude!

It's a daft Herby thing.
Makes the rest of VW drivers look like idiots.

Please don't do it to a Mk5 GTI.

+1... I'm sure they serve a purpose and each to his own, etc but that sure is one silly name for a car accessory.

I still dont get them, they look sh!t and only cover the front bit of the bonnet, what if a stone doesnt hit the front of your bonnet and hits the middle or the top or anywhere other than the front bit of the bonnet . . . .

Yes, but if you look at stone chipped bonnets (Mine) then you will see that about 90% of the stone chips are where the bra would have been.

do they come in different colours? a black bra on a black car looks a bit boring. If they came in white or grey would look better on my black car.

Personally I don't care about frontal stone chips - The parts are plastic and my bonnet is painted carbonfibre and so none of it is going to rust.

^ Looks fine without the 'toblerone bars'. This one belongs to a pair of lesbian girls - Apparently both particularly nice people and also hot babes. I suggested that the mate of mine doing the refit (Rock 'n Roll bed etc) fit a secret camera! :evil:
