Whipping it off on a regular basis and cleaning underneath and allowing the bra to dry out is also essential. (Doesn't sound like I'm back on topic, but I am!)

It just has to be fitted snug too so it doesn't flap about or come loose too.

Back on topic Rolling with laughter a word of warning with bonnet bras. If they don't fit really really well the wind speed from driving causes them to flap ever so slightly across the bonnet damaging the paint. Having been in the Vw scene for the last twenty years or so I've seen people fall foul of this many times.


You can always add some foam type soft padding material to the inside to make it fit better and reduce the scratching risk Whistle Rolling Eyes You never actually own a Defender. You merely look after it for the next generation.

Would he give a forum discount?

Valkyrie heavy duty, Baywatch stretch bra. Might start a cult thing. Laughing

Getting serious, did MoD/services/forces have bonnet fabric covers of any kind? Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy. Ta ta Defender

I've never seen a Land Rover with this sort of cover and I don't think the MoD or any commercial user would be concerned about stone chips. Darren

These are widely available in countries with gravel roads such as Aus. NZ, Canada, to protect from flying chippings, they often have little strips on the top to deflect air flow upwards to try to send chippings over the windscreen. This would be a waste of time in a defender with its aerodynamic properties of a house brick on edge!

The LR soft A bar provides pretty good protection to front of bonnet, evidence is deeply imbedded in my A bar.
