Question Car Bras

With all the trips I do for car shows, I'm starting to pick up a few too many small stone chip in my front bumper which obviosly the factory stone shield doesn't deflect.

So i was wondering if anyone out there in AFF land knew of any car bras that fit a LS focus zetec or a business who could custom make one to fit?

To tell you the truth, I've never spotted a Focus with one. I see plenty of other Euro's like Golf and some Moanaro's though. I've got a few stonechips from my travels and I think a car bra would've been handy.

*blushes* geez thanks man... lol

I'd prefer not to hide my baby blue behind a big ugly bra but I also don't want to be repainting my front bumper all the time. It would only be on for the big trips.

CarBra OZ do pretty much all cars, and will custom fit too.

I had one on a hot Magna I had a while back. I used it for trips between Sydney and Adelaide, and it worked a treat. But - one thing I did notice was that no matter how well it fitted the car, wind vibration did cause small scuff marks at certain points.
This car was black too, and it really accentuated these marks. :(

I reckon there is a product hidden in this thread. You know the clear protectors for iPod, PSP and the like? Surely there is an electrostatic clear film that could be smoothed on? [runs to garage to have a play...]

Give Magnetic car bra's in the US a go. I got one for my Cougar and they're great, lightweight, easy to clean and a lot easier to install and remove.
