dont want to do that other wise it will end up looking like the bonnet on my 92 ghia covered in stone chips.not a good look that's why I was hopeing for some ideas other than 1 taking it off or 2 cramping my style and slowing down .

Haven't noticed. Oh that's right...I drive an N/A :thumbsup:

j/k :D

I've been driving at high speeds and have not noticed any probs with vibration. I'd rather have one than not at all. I have approx 20-30 stone chips in the front but bonnet is clean. Apart from that truck incident putting 2 scrapes into the bonnet, (now touched up), If I didn't have it, yes the bonnet would be a mess.

Yes my bonnet protector had a little vibration at 140kmph (Live in the outback) and rubbed paint off the inside of the bonnet.

Being a tyre fitter I cut the back of a tubeless valve and slid it on the inside of the bonnet under the protector smack bang in the midddle of the two attacment screws.

Each to they own, I like the bonnet protector and she stops a lot of stone chips in the bush.

I think you'll find it's the headlight protectors - this is in some other posts.

130-140k is the point of vibration - earlier if there is a cross wind

Hmmm, I'm sure I havent noticed any but hat's a good tip, might do that. Thanks DavoXT

Howdy All

We have just had a new product released last week.

It's a clear film that covers the first 20-30cm of your bonnet.

Previously these types of films had a problem with discolouring (yellowing).

Accelerated age tests so far show no signs of deterioration.

It's called "Clear Shield" & should be available from any tint shop that sells "Bekaert" films.

It's hardly noticable & it sure as hell won't rattle!!

Regards
