Car-bra, anyone?

Has anyone fitted a car-bra to their WS Fiesta?

What do you think of the idea?

Searching through these forums, it seems headlight guards could be a good idea with a car-bra. I see Ford wants $139 for a pair. Which overseas supplier would you recommend?

God no. (unless you regularly travel on gravel roads)

On a similar note I don't get why people buy seat covers on new cars. They're generally bloody ugly (compared to the original trim), they never get to enjoy it, then they sell the car for someone else to enjoy.

My WS Fiesta smells like motor oil on a hot day because it being in my clothes and getting into my drivers seat. For me it probably would have been a good idea

But then it would be in your seat covers and you would still smell it on a hot day...can't win really :/ Unless you get changed at work (F that!). At least it wouldn't be permanent if you decided to sell up.

here's the Mk7 version from Turkey but it isn't a full "car bra" http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Fies...item27c03f7427

The same reason why people keep the original plastic on their laptops and phones cause they're worried about scratches.

But custom made seat covers are actually quite good, the ones u get from SCA blow, but yea, custom ones are as good if not better than none.

Have a look at item 230702363868 on UK Ebay for bonnet protector, i purchased similar one for my WT for when i do long distance travel involving dirt roads etc, mine was alot cheaper and came from Turkey but is excellent for this type of protection and comes off and hangs in the garage..... i have never liked the plastic bonnet protectors and found this a great alternative.
