RE: Stone chips

If you must protect the front of your car why not go for a clear bra system. 3M do a clear film protection pre cut for cars etc. and its virtually invisible. Its never going to look good with half a cow strapped on the bonnet

If anything, the clear vinyl bonnet bra would be my choice for sure. Don't fancy the half a cow option on mine much either, lol! Laughing Paula x

Body coloured wrap on the vulnerable bits?

A Pangea Green New Defender 110 First Edition is now sitting on my drive alongside British Racing Green Electric Mini Cooper SE Level 3. After 21 years in my hands my TDI300 90 was handed on to the next custodian on 15 July 2022.

RE: Stone chips

Increasing your distance to the car in front makes a huge difference!

RE: Stone chips

Or after they've just resurfaced the road with loose gravel on freash tarmacl and some w****r coming from the opposite direction is driving at 60 or 70 mph in a white van! Or a frickin quarry lorry doesn't bother to cover his load and the stone chips go everywhere! Everyday life in 'bonnie' Aberdeenshire.
