They cause more damage than they protect from imo. They trap grit and moisture then move whilst driving causing abrasion.

All in my opinion of course.

[brent007]

ok mate cheers, anyone else had any experiance with these

[JokeTown]

Shit man I thought this thread was going to be about womens under garments.

[brent007]

lol, sorry mate, it seems the car comes first, lol

[ross_jsy]

i think they look stupid.

how about those invisable sheilds you can buy?

[Dezzy]

Sorry I know you said don't say it but they look dog dirt. Also makes you look like you wish you had bought a dub.

[brent007]

ive never seen them mate, havent got a link have you please

[ross_jsy]

thats cause they are invisable ;)

its just a clear sheet of film that is then stuck over the paint work

GAY GAY and VERY GAY! Just my opinion of course.

[Blitz]

Its all the yanks putting this crap on their E30's.

[brent007]

so there not on everyones christmas list then, lol, but if im to be honest m3jim, driving anything less than an e30 m3 is just wrong, it has to be one of if notthe very best car ever made, just hope i get there one day

[fuzzy]

it would be less embarrasing to be seen out in your wives bra.

[brent007]

ouch fuzzy, lol, all im trying to do is look after the 20 year old paint, it mint and i dont want it ruind by stone chips

[E30BeemerLad]

You can buy mine, £35 posted, it has a slight split in it from my charge through a hedge, but barely noticeable.





I would agree they are not likely to be that protective of your paint as they will hold moisture in the backing

[brent007]

still to be fair guys, being as my car would be classed as a council by most on here, i dont surpose a bra could make anyone think any less of my car, but im over the moon with her, and thats all that matters, and im sure everyone feels the same about theres, council or not, being different is what makes us individual, but thanks all for the help and comments, oh and digs, lol

[Bluto]

if your paint is swirl free now, it wont be after the bra.

fit the paint shield, more expensive but at least wont scratch the paintwork.

[scootlife]

They dont look that bad. Go for it. Tempted to buy it myself if you dont have it, as ive already got a couple of paint chips on the front of my bonnet!!

all bondage to me.

look stupid, cause damage, make the car look worse than a few stone chips would.

if the paint is still 'mint' after 20 years, it can't be that prone to damage from normal use. plus they do absoluely nothing to protect the front edge of the wings, the valance strip under the grilles. bumper, or lower valance.

only of use to protect the paint of a concourse car on the very rare occasion it's driven to a show, and will undoutably be removed 99.9% of the time so as not to cause any damage.

I run a bra when going to and from shows with the 323.

As you can see it is a full bra rather than just the bonnet.
I run masking tape across the paint where the edge of the bra comes to and along the front of the bonnet edge.
I never leave it on and if it gets wet I get it off and dried asap.
I have used the bra since 93 and it does keep the chips at bay as well as mashing the flies before they get onto the grille.

Loving the steelies

[clipper]

I don't buy into the theory that they damage the paintwork. My wife worked in the Lamborghini dealers in Madrid and they regularly used bras on the cars when a potential punter was offered a test drive. I can't believe that they'd use them if they damaged the paint !

And yes, I did try to blag a drive in one, and no, I wasn't succesful....

[Morat]

Car bras are really for driving through deserts where hitting a sandstorm (or probably just following a big lorry) will sandblast your paint in hours. So yes, they make sense in those conditions. Here in the UK they're just grim!

Not putting it on the chromie lee?

He'd better not be!

[kitch]

i have one on my car and love it, they can cause micro blisters in the paint, but that is only if you dont keep it clean and waxed, aslong as you keep it clean enough and protected with some form of product they will be fine

I reckon it will look smart with bra, coilovers, 14" banded steels and a roof rack. That way he wouldnvhave to sort the arches.
