Anyone know where to get covers that will cover the front of the car while driving? To avoid stone chips

Try an American site. They have loads of those sorts of things over there. The exchange rate is good and stuff I've ordered always gets over fast - usually faster than ordering within uk.
If I find a site I will post a link

its not a bra
its a thin layer of clear sheeting that covers as much as you want it to
has to be better than half a synthetic cow across the front end
that will look ridiculous

I'd rather have a bonnet full of chips than insult my E30 with one of those.

For the bra's you can try this place
http://www.colgancustom.com/index.shtml
Personally I think they look ok. You can get just the bonnet Bra (covers just the front of the bonnet) rather that the full bra (covers the whole of the front).
I've got a bonnet bra from Colgan (Sports/bonnet bra) and I use it when I have to do motorway runs. They fit fantastically and look good (awaiting abuse for that
) adds to the European/US look if your after anything like that

Do you drive around with plastic on the seats as well?

Actually Yes
saves me getting out when needing the toilet
But actually I do have a seat cover stops my seat for getting covered in crap and protects from wear on the seat base.

If you click on Buy Now and then search for the following "BMW 325i SEDAN 1989" The sports (bonnet) bra is $58 about 35 quid.
Ill add a picture of my car with one on later.
There are very few places in the uk that sell them. and im 99% sure halfords dont.

get that protective clear film and fit it on, you cant notice it when its on and. its low tack seff adhesive so it will come off easily and not damage the paint when you take it off or replace it
