Here it is - the debut of the FIRST EVER RED FULL FRONT MASK for a Polo GTI wooooo!!!!

...and yes i know its on a bed, and not the GTI, but its not clean enough for a trial fit

Its as red as the flash red - and tbh its rather something. To have something so unique, and for it to be red is out of this world wooo so excited

I think the other ones look smart, just don't like those ones.

lol each to their own

If you'd just spent 1500 quid getting your car resprayed, you might think differently!

I had the previous normal bonnet bra, but it doesnt offer enough protection - with the amount of stone chips you get on the splitter with it being colour coded, having a full front mask pays off in the long run.

Besides its for motorway driving only!

Yeah, i can understand its VERY practical.
And i can understnad why you use it.
Hell, if i spent that much on a respray, i would.

But i just don't like the look

Probably look totally different on the car though.
Just the one i saw didn't suit it at all.

What was it on and what colour was it?

I think it will look quite good when its on - as its red, and the colour is almost a perfect match, it should just blend in and not stick out like a sore thumb (well i hope anyway!)

Looks good, i'd like to see it fitted to the GTI though

Er, it was on a polo.
I'd try and find the pic, but i haven't a clue where to start looking.
Damn my crap memory...

It stuck out like a sore thumb, think it was black, just stuck out...

Oh the black one on the blue polo?

That im afraid is bloody awful, there is no way i would be pulling that over fresh paint!

Couple of coats of hard glaze will reduce chips to a minimum, no matter how soft that is it will slowly munch its way into the paint with a head on wind on it. I would be v careful how long you keep that on for particularly if it gets caught in the rain!

Im aware of that bud. Rain and bras are a very bad combination.

Hard glaze is as bad as sealing it tho - so its a vicious circle isnt it?

It just makes me laugh how people are so anti full front masks - they are designed for a purpose...not to look like a set of schmidt TH lines.

might look better on the polo rather than a bed

will look smart and do what you want it to, but like you said take it off when not driving as it'l probs look ghay.

but it also might look so good on you might keep it on for shows

pics of it on the car though
