Hey guys, u was looking at a few pikis of sum of peoples rides and I'm noticing alot of these bonnet bras. They look really gurd was wondering what's the pros and cons of havin one, and if any one has one fir sale??? Or wud consider swapping. Iv got sub, strut brace, rage exhaust. Standard rear lights, front side indicators and standard grill. Let me know if ur interested or help with pros and cons. Cheers

Pros:

1. Protects your bonnet from paint chips.
2. Can look good on some cars.
3. Can get customised bra's.

Cons:
1. Can also look bad on some cars!
2. If you never take it off it would ruin the paint on your bonnet.

Is it best to take it off when washing the car??

^^ Defo AND I wouldn't keep it on the car permanently as it'd ruin the paint.

Like take it off for a couple days a month??

I personally wouldn't leave it on for any more than 2 days a month, as it is liable to scratch paintwork etc.

Ahh I dnt that wud mater that much to much as the perivous owner didn't take much care of the car. But if I put it on my new one I will take ur advice. Now it's just gettin one!!!

bonnet bras are designed to be on very little, as in a couple of days a month on a fully clean car, not off only a couple of days a month. if the car isn't dry the dirt between the paint and bra with mar the surface of your paint, also if it's not there for too long and moisture gets in it does the same thing.

Got a bra on mine (red) and Robs got one too. They look quite good really and I don't think they do a lot personally I guess its just a "scene" thing to have. In a way one of the reasons I got mine is because when you see my car go past it doesn't instantly jump out as a modified polo, so the bra kind of added that "ooo look, that polo has a bonnet bra on, lets look" if you can get what I mean. Heres a pic

Mines a full frontal, only bought it to protect the paint. I generally don't like the look of them. They serve a good purpose though, even just the bonnet ones!

ahhh i see they do look pretty gurd and serve a good purpose but like u said before it does come with its pros and cons. just pondering really maybe its the case of gettin one fitting it and taking it from their.
