I need to take some pics of my Lexus LS400 and MkII Granada BUT only after I've cleaned the Lexus and after I've fitted the spare BOB engine in the Granada.

Nice little car, the 25 GTi :) Good engine and better suspension than the grandad spec models... fun car to drive!

Only just saw this...

Indeed - got a feeling the ZR would probably be a bit too sporty with the setup, this seems like a good compromise! Would have liked a better example but that's life... I'd get another one in better nick but I think it's time to move up a size!
 
Twas a serious question really:

You buy one to protect the paint, no problem with this but when it costs the same / similar to a respray and means you have to drive around with something that looks totally stupid fitted to your car I fail to see the point.

I'd prefer not to have one, get stone chips (which you can hardly see) then pay for a respray when you come to sell the car.
 
Depends on the car I'm sure, but I think they are like £200 for the 'basic' ones that just go on the bonnet lip and don't do the grill line, on some cars.
 
Yeah I need to purchase a decent set of mats; I think that’s a job for tomorrow! There are no stone chips nor dents/scratches on the paintwork at all, not bad at all for a 8 year old motor :D

No need for this at all
Either come over to belfast sure and say your petty little comments or stick behind the pc screen and be a little keyboard warrior *****

Firstly no personal attacks and if you have to swear then fully star the swear words out!
 
Do you really get that much stone chip and damage on your bonnet to actually need a car bra or is it because non German paint is somewhat inferior to everything else?

I motorway commute as well as blast around town and the majority of our roads down here have been redone with that loose chip type stone and I've not got any more scuff on my front end than when I got the car (ie: very minimal, you'd not notice without looking insanely up close).
 
It's a scene thing. Anyone who says otherwise are just kidding themselves.

And lol@souleh, taking offence on behalf of someone and calling someone a ***** on the internet. A true keyboard warrior.

It's much harder to see scratches on silver paint. My dads car for example is a 10 year old 7 series in silver with 140-150k on the clock, scratches all over. But only noticeable up close, and still looks clean standing a metre away. My car however is black of the same age but with 50k miles, I don't really have any scratches but do have some stonechips which really do stand out because of the contrast in colour.

Ohh and back on the car bra topic, I agree they seem a bit pointless imo.
