   The autobra ones from my experience are a bad fit and do damge paintwork......mine left some very horrible marks behind that took alot of machining out.

    Bonnet bra's definatley help with stone chips and they also set the car off you just gotta make sure you clean them reguarly,

    My friend had one on his Golf, looked good tbh, but he was for ever waxing under the bonnet bra,
    
    after a while the red paint work went a pink ish colour like it had faded,
    he took it off in the end and doesn't use it now, and he got the red back into his paint work

    Well thats mine just arrived and i only ordered it at 3 yesterday. Pretty good imo saying im in n.ireland.
    There are elastic straps with hooks on the end that hook onto the holes on the underside of your bonnet.
    Hope this helps.
