what mug needs kerb feelers on the right hand side?

they seem pointless cos there not protecting the whole front end i.e.the bupers and grille etc so your gonna have to pay money to get them sorted anyways (if your fussy!!) its not like stones are that bad anyway! i think theres bigger things to worry about!!!

Not that you'd no anything about air cooled, (or vw's period) but they're fitted on both sides, and are more of an accessory than anything else, I don't make a habit of hitting the kerb!

i quite like these... on some cars, im 50/50 on the Mk3 its something i would put on mine because i have a huge dent and rust stone chips on my bonnnet (it was off a diffrent car)  so i suppose if you like them as well it kills two birds with two stones,  doubt i would ever get one though.   That camper kinda looks like its driven through a picknick at high speed

Is there any point to those ridges on the top edge?  One the Mk2 and Mk3 ones rather that the bug ones?!

Apparently it's cool 


I think they are deflectors to prevent any stone flying at speed towards the windscreen, but to give it a decent look they don't cover the whole front of the bra, just the centre. Could be wrong though.

Completely useless IMO, what about stones hitting your grille, bumper,fogs, and headlights hey?

Isn't it aerodynamics, keeps the cover pressed down on the bonnet to stop it flapping up & down at speed?!
