VY Car Bra, Go or No Go?
Hey guys!
I'm due to get my Cosmo VYII S pack in 2 weeks!
Really rapped just waiting it out.
Just a question.
Car Bra Yes or No?
Ugly or Not?
depends on what the road and evironment is like
if im going on long trips or going to be driving through unsealed roads, i'd defiantley want to put the car-bra on to protect the front bar and then take it off when im cruising through town
in my opinion they're not that ugly
car bra - best invention since the woman's bra, designed to keep the wearer in a "healthy state" ... with out one ... well we all know the eventual consequences. :P

Yes... like females... sometimes you get rub marks.
Personally I don't like em, but if your planning the odd country trip then yeah, I would use one.
go
as long as the car is really clean (as in just washed) you cant go wrong

The question is. Do YOU want it? Add up the pro's and cons and decide for yourself. Ask that kinda question on a forum, you will always get half yes, half no answers.
Personally, i reckon they are a great product.

no longer a hoon by association - the commodore is gone
yeh i wish i had got one for my vy ss for long trips and unsealed roads, i do a few trips down to mornington peninsula in melbourne from keysborough area, and i regret no haveing one as my front bar and headlights are ****ed from stone as i end up haveing to go on a few gravel roads down there and on the way to and from work where trucks and cars have picked up gravel from the side of the road, my front bar, bonnet and headlights are littered in stone chips from these roads, when i washed my car 2nite i noticed me side mirrors and windscreen are ****ed to from being littered with stone chips too. after i get the bonnet and front bar sprayed i'm going to get one before it gets driven anywhere, even though the cheapest i got quoted was $600 in white.

Hey i just purchased one about a week ago off ebay. Fitted it today and went for a drive down to rosebud. Was glad to see the dead bugs and dirt on the bra and not on my paint work =)
Just make sure you clean the front of your car before you fit it, and make sure it's all dry then fit it. Also, don't use it in the wet. They say you can drive with them in the wet, but a mate of mine with a VX used his when it was raining and all the soft material on the bra went from white to black and was a real pain in the arse to clean. Had to soak it in the bath etc took a while.
Anyways well worth it for trips on highways/freeways etc.

Car bras a good for long trips and unsealed roads, in city and around not worth it. I had one for the VR for long trips, since I only do city runs I sold it on ebay.
An check ebay, you might pick up a second hand one, I got one for $65, and sold it for $70 2 years later, but mine was in good condition though!
Yeah wouldn't mind getting one for my SS pack. And what's with the RIPFPV plates? That thing couldn't rip a sick granny off a dunny can!
i say no, as they are expencive and look crap IMO, if your gonna get a bunch of stone chips chances are some of them will miss the car bra and chip towards the back of the bonnet and the roof anyway
i think id just wait it out and if the car got that bad fork out $900 and get the front end resprayed if not i wouldent worry over a few small chips over the jist of things if the rest of the car is immaculate.
not to mention if you have a car bra your intentions are to try and keep the car in immaculate origional condition without repairs to body/paint.
cant have your cake and eat it to. hence the daily driver that you drive everywhere and anywere and the weekend toy that you start up, drive around the block wash it then lock it back up again

I guess with the Bra you need mudflaps aswell, to protect the side panels from stone chips!

A car bra is A LOT cheaper than a respray, and a respray never ever turns out like factory spray; the paint always chips easier, the colour is never perfect, and especially on bumper bars respraying is hard and you can see imperfections.
respray before you sell car looks neat most people wont pick it
as for imperfections you want me to pick out all the factory imperfections in an adverage vy ? lol ive had 2 and both low mileage no accidents n have peices of hair and sand stuck to parts of the paint, not to mention terrible orange peel over the entire body

Well fortuantely i don't have that =). Also i think most of us get car bras to protect the car whilst we have it.. who wants to drive around a car covered in stone chips, then spray it before it's sold. I'd much prefer to have it in good nic right through =).

Re Car Bra
There is a new option to the Car Bra.Its a clear film that a company in Qld does.A mate of mine has it on his road bike,invisible to look at and they do pattern kits for vy ss or s fronts.Check out there website Paint Protection Solution for your Car or Motorcycle - Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Qld, Queensland.
