Wtf is that bonnet bra all about?! I'd rather have a few stone chips!

I got it free with off the bloke when i bought the LED rear lights off him, in all fairness I am only trying it out next weekend, the hastle of putting it on it will probably never go back on!

You are from the West Midlands and Inters is just the other side of Stratford. At a guess, it's a 40 miles journey. Early in the morning, how many stone chips do you think you are going to get?

Not many, but they have been doing that stupid gravel resurfacing around by me and its painful to hear them flying up, I had had the car a day and got a stone chip on the windscreen from one of them, was not a happy bunny!

Yupp nothing like chip and spray to ruin your car.

I've got a couple recently, its usually from a car the other side going to fast, horrible gouge on my bonnet. Needed touching up anyway but still a pain, not to mention the horendous pitting on the windscreen!

When I had my cw gti it wasn't the bonnet that suffered from stone chips it was more the front bumper.

I agree with ^ comment about bra, not a good look, (sorry)  :rolleyes:  least I am honest,  love the yellow fogs, tried them on mine but didn't go that well with the black paintwork so pulled them off.

Haha, the more I look the more I dislike the bra, one for the garage I think.


Cheers about the fogs, first mod I made thanks to a mate in the trade  :whistle:
