i lost 15mpg when driving with 2 bikes on a roof rack :0

As long as your happy....
But I'd rather use the transparent film to protect my paint.

What I don't understand is people spend time & money making their car look nice then cover it up with that hideous thing, when they could put a transparent film on instead that'll near on invisibly protect the paint while still showing off the car in its full glory.

If you do a lot of motorway miles it's not a bad investment, otherwise they do more harm than good.

Id prefer to have a bonnet bra rather than having my car covered in shrink wrap tbh
Yeah its a great investment just for motorways and i personally think its gave it a great look but yes will be coming off as soon as its at shows
Cheers for the comments guys, mixed opinions but great responses as always

What's the point of repainting the bonnet if you're going to hide it every other day apart from shows.. Seems a waste :S
