   i dont get it... you put it on to protect the paintwork... but then when do you take it off? presumably never? so its pointless, and looks shit (yes i repeated myself but because the bra looks so shit i felt it was worth reiterating)

    personally i dont like bonnet bras, i think they do suit some very nice modified euro cars but all the chavs round here have bonnet bras on there standard cars combined with a set of lexus lights so its now turning into more of a chav mod in my area

    gotta agree all bras should remain on the floor, the views always nicer that way.
