Who cares if the paintwork is chipped or not if you can't see it? Or are you thinking to keep it nice when it comes to sell it? If the latter then I'd not be surprised to find a nasty line across the bonet where the paint has faded differently with different exposure to the sun.

Trapped moisture under bonnet bras can cause havoc with bodywork as well. Especially if there is anywhere that it can pool.
Another problem I have heard is that any dust/dirt/particles trapped under can cause thousands of tiny scratches from the movement of the fabric, leaving a visible difference in finish quality.
They just ain't worth leaving on for long periods of time, or even putting on and taking off frequently.

#22: Re: 5 door jewels Author: Luke, Location: LeedsPosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 10:29 am ---- Make sure you get a good layer of wax on there when you clean under to help protect the paintwork.
Out of interest, is the bra got an inner lining, like fleece or lamb wool or anything?
#23: Re: 5 door jewels Author: troy, Location: llanelliPosted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 10:32 am ---- no, but there is a very smooth backing to it, i think its a felt like material.
#24: Re: 5 door jewels Author: NICKST, Location: Little hulton (worsley)Posted: Sun Jan 02, 2011 10:56 am ---- Yes i ment it stops stone chips and the car will look in better condition come sale time. thay might couse little surface scratches that can be polished out but its not a solid colour so it isnt really going to fade the paint that much and if it did it would be so minute a good polish would sort it out. i would wax the bonnet befoure fitting it.
#25: Re: 5 door jewels Author: troy, Location: llanelliPosted: Tue Jan 04, 2011 3:08 pm ---- rite-e-o, quick little update, my grill is going to be sprayed on the weekend for 20quid, (bargain) i have been in contact with jazz and dave regarding the bumper, i was meant to go have a look yesterday but unfortunatly she has had a incident with her car so that will have to wait. and i also went to seat today to pick up my splitter.
