tks for the positive comments...as for the bra, its an OEM VW part and helps alot with stone chips...the car is OEM+ ...



Any chance of the OEM part number for your bra as mine is aftermarket but would prefer the genuine article!


you should be able to get it from ECS tuning...

i reckon whatever material it is if dirt gets bellow it you will have issues with paint, if your after paint protection i would rather go with a Paintshield type product, and if you like the looks of the "Bra" then perhaps a Piantshield product below the Bra.

You do have to keep the bonnet clean underneath the bra as yes you could get rubbing issues. They are only meant to be put on for a short period and not meant to be used all of the time. If you keep them on for a prolonged period the paint starts to sweat and looks cloudy, this does clear after time though.

Bonnet bra is a bit of a let down. Could we some pics without the bra on?

it is now common knowledge that bra's should be worn at night as well and correct fitting done at all times most people tend to get one size to big thus causing sag and indeed chaffing. I think yours looks wonder bra.  :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed: 

Ps stealth you have only just met him and you are asking to see him without the bra on  :huh: :huh:

Your gonna get some deadly static after your workout Mark  :grin:

P.S. Loving the bra on the MK2  :cool: I would imagine the older a car gets the more need for support  :laugh:
