My bonnet is suffering from quite a number of stone chips, I have seen cars with what I believe is a black vinyl bonnet protector. Does anyone know where I can get one, If I can.

its well worht while in my opinion as it protects the bonnet from stone chips etc.

What would you rather do, use it and reduce the number of chips etc, or keep on having to pay £150+++ every time you need the bonnet respraying?

That's a fair point. But I still think it's stupid for the reason I originally stated. I'd feel like a complete and utter tit driving around with it on my bonnet.

The only time I'd ever use one is if I knew I was going on a road that was going to 'cause severe damage to my bonnet.
like entering a building site with wide loads :lol:

The only reason I asked, I use the car as a daily to work between Essex and London, around 120 miles a day round trip. The bonnet is getting seriously screwed due to the A13 and A127, a bonnet protector/bra was the only thing I could think of, unless someone can suggest anything else other than a respray.

Oooook, now that everyone has told me they look s**t, they don't like them etc, etc, does anyone have any alternatives apart from getting the bonnet resprayed every so often, as you can see from my last post, this car is my daily drive and the bonnet is getting seriously phucked up. I agree, they look crap, but what alternative do I have?
