Been thinking about gettin a car bra, i reckon they look cool! What do all you guys think of them?
-
I think if you do that i may just have to confiscate your poor abused golf.
Car bra's are horrible :laugh:
-
like them about as much as i do on beautiful women - bra's that is - whenever i see one i want to take it off :wink: dont do it mate
-
I can't say I'm keen on them, although I understand why some peeps with show cars etc may want to use them .
A bloke I know at the M.O.T.station where I go has just bought one for the T2 splittie that he has restored  :drool: no expense spared.
( I'll post some pics of it up soon hopefully ,but at the moment he won't let a camera near it until he's ready to unveil it at shows )
anyway, he's been told to be careful how much he uses it as it can damage the paintwork by any movement/rubbing on the body when used and cause moisture build up .The one thing he's doing is to put felt or something like that on the underside so as to reduce any chance of damaging the paint.

Irony..i thought they was supposed to help protect the paint? :grin:
-
wouldn't bother mate - will look sh!te :laugh:
-
hmm not too popular then, is there anyone other than me who thinks they look good? :embarassed:
Dont like the sound of them damaging paintwork tho, but i have got some pretty nasty stonechips on the bonnets leading edge anyway... :undecided:
-
I think they can look alright on the right car, but not something that i would buy myself

hmm maybe, and while im at it if fancy a vent in the wing, oh and a couple of dings in the sides could do with looking at.....can see this getting very expensive :grin:
i still think they look cool though.......
-
I can understand why people have them to protect from stone chips ets and I think they are a good idea. I dont think they look particularly good but they do a job. You could always get one and use it for everyday use and take it off if you went to shows etc but I personally dont think they look good.
But, each to their own and if you like it then it looks good as far as you are concorened, so go for it.
-
Not my Cuppa !
-
Surely you can just trat the bonnet with that thick gooey paint they offer at the dealers... Canne remember what it's called though....
-
im not a fan either... but if u like em why not fit one anyway, its your car.
-
Practical but ugly imo, dont look quite so bad on a black car tho x

In that case I'd better rush out and get one for mine :cool: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: NOT!!
-
lol, "not quite so bad" isnt great! It would look really sh!t if it was on my red jetta for example, u dont notice it from a distance on a black car :grin:
-
ermmm car bra's are not meant to "look cool" they are there to serve a purpose, to protect your paint. Which they do well, so erm get one if you want to protect your paint, not if you want to look cool. Quite simple really.
-
If i was that desperate to protect my paint job, my car would be in the garage and not used at all.
GET A GRIP CAR BRA USERS!! and use the clear protective plastic stuff instead.
-
It could be that some people use them because the front end of their car is so badly knackered by stone chips and scabby bits of rust that this is a cheaper alternative than a respray :laugh:
-
naff imo..think madone was on about gettin sum thou?! not sure if he did?! :huh:
Dinx :kiss:
-
its anothe rone of those things that have become fashionable but i don't really like them, i get the reason for having them but just not a big fan...
-
i think they look turd! but each to there own! :grin:
-
Bras are for TITS :grin: - nuff said.
Having said that, looks better than the taped up bonnets and arches you see on the RS Cossie etc show cars.
-
can you not get them in different colours
oh yeah i think they look crap
-
Thats the whole point, they are not there to look good, they are there to protect your paint and stop all the stone chips.
They do that job very well.
