It's your car dude
I would have always said it improves your cars appearance when they come off.

Unless she is terribly unloved, ungifted, untalented, how many look best wiht there bras left on? Hmmm

Not a fan myself, having said that I haven't had a shiny new paint job (on a car I cared about) to even consider getting one.

I think as something you slip on for long road trips they can be worth while, especially if your car doesn't usually see that sort of road so is in good nick. Just make sure you put it on right, I have seem some horrific damage from car bras...
(I've even seen pretty bad marks from a wedding ribbon on a restored card from a trip up the freeway with the ribbon flapping).

If you're after a Car Bra, try Robco Products. They're a pretty reputable local manufacturer.

They have a fitting for almost every car domestically available in Australia.

Bras are ok on long country trips, but the best way to avoid stone dings is to avoid tailgating, especially trucks and buses.

Goingfast on eBay has the sort that covers over the hood only. More of a fashion statement, and they're known to trap moisture underneath leading to rust bubbling up if your paint isn't that great to begin with. But good for the occasional long-distance trip I guess.

Hey guys just digging this up cos I want a full front carbra for mine when I take a road trip next month.

Have emailed Robco, but does anyone know what sort of price I'm looking at for a bra that covers the whole front, not just the front of the bonnet?

The purpose they serve is great, and it's not like you'll be keeping it on forever.


I counted 5 stone chips last night when I got home, including one on my windscreen

What kind are you looking for? There were a few Mk5s at the Nats sporting those clear car bras that go over the whole front end.

[Mrk_Mickey]

As long as it's detachable and it protects the whole front end, that's fine by me.

I wouldn't mind getting one of those, but it's not as easy as undoing the velcro clips when you have to remove it.
