Bonnet (Hood) Protector

BLKCTR · 11th January 2008, 09:21

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a bonnet protector available for the '07 Type R? Honda Australia don't have them! Surely there are aftermarket one's around

angie4m · 11th January 2008, 09:30

Are we talking like a bra for the front of the car or paint protection film?

I think the black bra thing golfs and big american cars have, I'd quite like one too form mine on motorway journeys.

They look terrible, but do protect our oh so thin paintwork.

The paintwork must be colour specific (or very random!!!) as mine is the best (meaning least) for stonechips I have ever had.

Spaceships to have to be wary of all the space debris upthere!!!

Mine is also so far untouched, but it can't hurt to be that bit careful, it wouldn't notice on mine as much as yours or Milano for example.

I agree that black will show more, but I remember that milano is not that tough from other posts!!!

My only fear is that as my car was 2nd hand it may not have Honda's original 'be able to read through' paint on it.

Possibly

The only other name on the V5 is Honda UK so fingers crossed, if it has been repaired, it has been done properly......

I agree!! They look dreadful. If youre not bothered by the look, cover the front with lard. youll get no chips through that!!

Ps. You really need 3M plastic film.

I know it won't help in Australia, but for others, there are usually adverts in Auto Express for companies that do this kind of thing, (the 3M stuff, not the lard, for that try Aldi or Lidl!!!).
