   Basically its as simple as bonnet bra or no bonnet bra?
   
   I really like the look of them and have been considering getting one for a while now but what do people think? Pics appreciated
   
   Also i heard from someone that aparently if left on too long they can start to seriously rust the bottom end of your bonnet away? :s is this just me being extremely gullable as they are made to protect it! just wana clear this up before i order one ha, thanks

   protects fuck all as soon as dirt, sand, salt and stones get in between the bonnet and the bra. Chav gimmick in my opinion, on top of being useless.

   Well if you buy a bra it will say on the ticket on the actual bra itself to take it off every so often to let the paint breath
   
   I only use the bra on golf for long journeys now protect the chiping on front of the bonnet at least, ideally id want a full front mask that does the bumper and bonnet

   Like Pred said, the Bra is only there to protect the paint on long journeys.
   
   When you start using it all day everyday it becomes a fashion accessory and ruins the paint.

    Cheers for the opinions, they seem to fit much more snug on vw's and look more in place and considering i dont do many long journeys in the sax the whole idea now seems a bit pointless, especially as quite alot of people are getting them now that its becomming less unique. You may have swayed my decision . . .
