Feckin bonnet bras. Whoever thought that was a good idea... "Lets get this really hideous yoke and pop it on the bonnet to protect from stone chips..."

Then when you remove it two years later, you now have two different shade of colour on the bonnet as the part under the bra has had no light. Ugh... idiots.

I lost count of the amount of dubbed out transporters with bonnet bras I saw when in Wales a few weeks ago, seemed like everyone had one on their van.

Can also cause a regular flow of rain water into the engine bay!

I could never figure out what the bonnet bra was supposed to do. I thought it came from rallying to stop muddy water destroying the windscreen in the forest stages...... Terrible looking yokes on boy racers.

quick link to my poorly saxo for anyone half interested in a project/resto ;-)

Is it not a bad idea to lower the rear torsion bar.. I have been told that once you lower it it cant be put back and that its not good for the car? Not to sure how true it is though..and open to correction.but Best of luck with the sale. It does look clean..

I'm kind of thinking about getting one when I get my bonnet resprayed. E39's seem to be super prone to stone chips on the bonnet and start to rust away, would have to take proper care of the paint outside it though to keep it matching.

I'll unfriend you on Facebook.


Seriously though, only a small portion of the car will be protected and the colour won't match when you take it off AND you'll look like a dixkhead.

Stone chips are a fact of life, just put LOADS of wax on and hope for the best.

You'll be banned from here too.

Yeah I think once it's responded I'll just stick it in the garage and look at it, wait until the value goes up :pac:

Or just do what the cool kids do and take the bonnet off altogether :pac:

Don't do it those bras are horrendous yokes! Will ruin the front of the car!

They also cost like €80, which would be the price of respraying it so not worth it anyway :pac:

Only a gobshoite would put a bra on their car.

I quite like the look of the plastic ones..

The only thing a bra was invented for was to put on a fine looking woman and to be taken off even quicker.

NOT FOR MOTOR VEHICLES.

And it's not a challenge to remove a car bra from the front round her back with your left hand...

The only bra on my bonnet.... :cool:

That's very far from a skanger, looks 100% standard apart from the TDI badge ofcourse.

There's an SDI Vento with a TDI badge on it too.

In fairness it may be something as simple as the car getting a new bootlid from a scrapyard at some stage in its life for wahtever reason. It hardly makes the car worthy of the Skangermobile thread.

Maybe..........Or maybe not... :eek: This may indeed have been the start of the skanger transformation..

Sure did. Seems to acquire new bits of crud each time it appears.
