Re: Bonnet Bras
I've been looking at these to cover up my rusty bonnet lip. The description on-line is very good and there are many cars around with them fitted but mostly VW's, not 406 to see how they really look.

Re: Bonnet Bras
What is the actual purpose of these things anyway is it to make a shabby old bonnet look good? if that's the case the seller is a marketing genius just look at the lines on that 406 so crisp and true.... It don't look like it's had a fight with a tree at all.

Re: Bonnet Bras
I just don't get it either, I've heard a few different reasonings...
To protect the paintwork - Yeah the paintwork you'll never see again isn't chipped or scratched, however the felt-backed vinyl has soaked up and held every bit of moisture it can, causing your bonnet to rust like an old nail...
To enhance the aesthetics of the vehicle - I'm sure Stevie Wonder thinks it looks great.
To reduce drag - please, don't talk bollocks!
To "absorb" police radar, reducing the risk of speeding fines - What's it like on your planet?

Re: Bonnet Bras
I saw plenty of them in the Untidy States, especially Ca-la-forn-I-A where things don't stay wet for long, so I guess the rust isn't an issue. Still, they do look a bit (what would Lozz say here? Ah yes) Ghey. Still, I was in San Francisco for some of the time...
