    no, look terrible but if you like it go for it. It is your car in the end and if you're happy who cares what anyone else says.

    Noticed 90% of people have said no? They're gash and they scratch your bonnet. Even though they're meant to protect it... how does that work? Lol.

    the bra has a felt bit around the edges if its not at least washed in a machine then grit still gets trapped there
    
    when your travelling the two bits that stick up help keep the bra tightly onto the car, so the felt and paintwork rub on eact other, any grit and it scratches into the paint work
    
    they were designed to stop stone chips originally used on porsches

    Nah they look crap on Saxo's and if people are reporting that they scratch their paintwork too then it defeats the object of having one in the first place really.

    The thread starter is basically asking whether a gimp mask for the saxo is cool.....

    So let me get this right. You buy a bra to protect the front of your car. And then you have to buy something to protect your car from the bra.
    
    That sounds the most stupid idea ever!
