No

F*ck no!

If you're that concerned get some clear wrap put on. Far better than that monstrosity and a billion times better than those god awful bonnet bra things too. :)

Thats nasty.(and not in a good way)

I'm sure there's a hatch on here with one on doesn't look that bad to be honest as it looks like a dubbed golf :D

I wouldn't have one on personally gives it the vag/dub look in my opinion which I wouldn't want on my jap mobile

there's a touran locally with one on and it looks :freak3:

ray54 18 August 2017 08:05 PM

Thanks guys..maybe yes thats a no then

sunny1989 20 August 2017 03:12 PM

An outright no, it looks ****e haha

Seen these as an optional extra on the new Subaru XV, they don't look very good and seem a bit pointless, stone chips aren't that bad are they!?

got one on the front of mine as iv got fed up with the stone chips , I think it looks ok on mine being black but I wouldn't put it on another colour

have a look around the hatchbacks as they are very bad ,, paint is very very thin so they suffer from them really bad ,, iv had to do my front end once already and now have to do the rear arches as they have suffered the same fate as the bumper and bonnet

How much is the protector and how much to prep and paint?
I just had paint protection film on the front bumper, mirrors, partial bonnet and wings for £650

Its selling for £60 (new), (can prep & paint myself) was thinking of putting it on my imported hawk wrx
wagon, its got a few jdm mods and thought this could add to the jdm look. :wonder:

Its a 1 owner with only 20,000 miles so was hoping to keep it looking good.

Will look into the clear wrap/paint protection film also.......thats been mentioned.

Why not buy the other rock chip protector? The kind that is a clear vinyl/plastic film that goes on your hood? That works quite well.
