Full Stonechip Protection Pack, looks like the clear sticky back plastic stuff.

"Each kit comes complete with pre-shaped clear protective film, covering leading edge of bonnet,front bumper, to help reduce possible paintwork damage from stone chips etc."

Part Number: 1K0 071 327
RRP on VW website: £100
Asking price:
Collection would be preferred

Brought this ages ago from ebay but never got round to applying it, car is now covered in stonechips so I'm not gonna bother with it.

Pic below shows the areas to be covered and instructions.

It appears they do them for the Mk1, Mk2, Mk3, Mk4, Mk5 and R32 but I've never seen them for the Mk6.  :wink:

I'm not looking to buy one, but I did notice that they don't ship to Europe anyway.

...ofcourse you can customize it with a net.. :evil:... But the actual message is do not bother.

It all reminds me of my mother in law preserving her beautiful oak tabletop with an horrid cloth day after day, never removing it.....so nobody ever got to see the table top... :shocked: :lipsrsealed:

The clear bras in the US are pretty much becoming standard with high end cars.  I was looking for one when I got mine but 1 week a Lorrie went off the road and threw rocks all over my bonnet chipping denting and cracking the windscreen So I didnt do it. Heading to GTI international a piece of metal hit my bumper and scratched it up.  (I used 3 british words there, not bad)
