looks good but whats the deal with the bonnet bra? To protect against stone chips?

scoobyride 22 August 2012 02:40 PM

I really like these! Yours would be much nicer with the wheels back to standard colour and the bonnet bra removed ASAP :thumb:

Neanderthal 22 August 2012 03:55 PM

Can never understand these car bra things? it's only protecting the front of the bonnet, so the bumper is getting the normal stone chips etc and will need respraying if you're that bothered about stone chips you put a bra on the bonnet.
Also, if you leave it on there too long the paint that it's exposed (especially red paint!) will fade slightly and when you do take the bra off you'll have a definite line between the two so you'll have to respray the bonnet anyway?

Darc174 22 August 2012 04:35 PM

Your wrong :) had it on there for 2 months it comes off and gets cleaned on the underside.

No line or scratchs and the bra had raised tops and works.

Silver wheels do look good but not for me

Each to their own but I couldnt drive around with one on. Would prefer to get some protective film or similar.

When I had my FN2 I used to go on http://www.civictype-r.co.uk and they were friendly enough. EP3 section looks a little quiet tho.

Darc174 22 August 2012 06:09 PM

Yeah IMO if it was my car an not the girlfriends it wouldn't be on there lol

But does suit the car IMO

Darc

dj219957 22 August 2012 11:29 PM

loose the ocd bra IMO, looks daft

Darc174 25 August 2012 12:12 PM

It's not my car to take off, I like it and so does the misses so it's not going

Darcy

njkmrs 25 August 2012 03:51 PM

Darc174 26 August 2012 12:21 PM

Give me stone chips any day over the bonnet bra.
Not sure why you think a piece of felt or whatever it is, full of creases makes a car look better but as long as you like it that's all that matters

thenewgalaxy 12 January 2014 06:16 PM

Bonnet bras http://www.foynls.co.uk/phpbb/images/smilies/winker.gif

Type Rs are great looking cars but so many get ruined by trashy mods.

I'm on civic info and it's a decent enough forum although when I put this picture on they loved my civic and hated my Nismo :D

One of the finest build threads on civictype-r.co.uk forum that. I'm picking wills220's Milano up off him next month to replace my 02 plate one.

brens.scoob 24 January 2014 09:53 PM

cheers mate,was an epic car,wasted pretty much everything on track.

yea i know will and his car is a great example..enjoy.:thumb:

mfnick 29 January 2014 10:03 PM

Very nice, I do miss mine. Does look loads better without the bra, never understood them either.

Lowered by 40mm? Should probably get this - http://www.tegiwaimports.com/tegiwa-...n-bracket-174/
Always recommended on these if you're dropping by 30mm or more to protect from unnecessary wear and damage to other components.
