Never seen one a Mk1 before, so not sure how that would look?

Mk2 bonnet bra = EPIC FAIL! They look crap especially where the cut out is for the grille

Also they do the opposite to what they say they do...they protect from stone chips, but scratch the bonnet like mad with the grit that gets stuck under them

yea there is alot that you got to watch with them they only good in summer there not suppose to be on the bonnet when car wet or take it off every week. when you clean it aswell and in this weather it always wet it froze.

Uncool in my opinion.

I really like the mark 2 bra's...have never seen them on a mark 1 though!
i guess its just down to personal preferance

11th January 2010, 01:50

try a search discussed many many times

11th January 2010, 11:54

only mk1 i no who has/ had one is 'saxo180's silver one. dont look too bad on that but im not sure if its just the uber clean car which makes up for the looks

looks cack on all mk2's/most other mk1's, so tacky/cheap looking and it never fits nicely around the mk2 grill

11th January 2010, 14:29

yea thats what i dont like about mine the grill bit never fits perfect.

11th January 2010, 14:56

there cool on the right car but some ppl jut buy them cos there a fairly cheap mod wen they dont go with the rest of the car

11th January 2010, 15:02

Its not a matter of are they cool or not.....they are there to protect the paint from stones etc.

Sadly IMO they are very poorly made and actually scratch the paintwork underneath, i was very dissapointed with Autobra and made sure they were aware of that!

James

11th January 2010, 15:05

all depends on the car there on

good thanks they needed making aware of these. might put on up for sale or keep hold for the future.

11th January 2010, 16:25

i had one on my polo 6n but that was dub style. not really seen many on saxo's

11th January 2010, 16:47

they are a nasty addition.

11th January 2010, 17:16

I dont normally like them, but Luke1988 has one on his mk2 posi furio and i have to admit in the flesh i though it looked really quite nice!

11th January 2010, 17:31

i used to have one on mine thought it was awesome didnt scratch my bonnet as i only had it on every now and then that the only reason i sold it because it didnt get used and somebody wanted one on here

11th January 2010, 17:34

seriously uncool imo

11th January 2010, 17:40

not a fan tbh ........................ never have been

you sold my bra, it fitted you so well

11th January 2010, 19:01

Uncool imo... As said it just scratches the bonnet instead of protecting it, I personally dont think they suit saxos either.

11th January 2010, 20:04

i think they look good on some cars but not saxos

11th January 2010, 20:07

imo they look tacky.

11th January 2010, 20:18

i love my bonnet bra...think i'm one of the lucky ones because i only have one or two light scuffs on the bonnet and i keep it on all the time

12th January 2010, 00:20

Not a fan sorry. Yes it protects the bonnet from scratches and chips etc, but whats the point in that if its not going to get seen anyway.

12th January 2010, 04:52

mine fitted quite nicely tbh.

Did like them but not too keen now...

12th January 2010, 08:37

I think they look daft on most cars tbh

My mate has one on his Passat, and i actualy think it looks worse in person than photos aswell
But he loves it, so just different tastes i guess.
