| After a week with my new car driving around some of the Cornish highways I've noticed a fair number of stone marks on the front 12 inches of the bonnet. Most too deep to t-cut. Apart from driving a bit further back from the car or tractor in front I'm wondering if there is a sort of clear covering (bit like cling film) that you can put on that is not that visible? Thanks |

| Yep,
I have a developed a special invisible shield net that wraps around car bonnets and helps protect them.
Here is a photo:
Good isn't it, hard to see and all that. It works great too!

Thanks Years back I had a 1600cc Beetle.....used to be known as the pregnant Beetle because of it's larger boot at the front and the use of McPherson strut front suspension allowing more storage space. This meant quite a large area of bonnet that was prone to paint chippings......VW's answer to this was a vinyl bonnet cover foamed lined that covered the first quarter of the bonnet....generally in black.....was probably the equivalent to a go faster stripe....although the 1600cc engine did give it a surprising take-off from the traffic lights that did upset many a boy racer who lined up at the lights on the outside lane expecting to leave you standing when the green light came on.....gave me many a satisfying moment as I looked in my rear-view mirror at an upset boy racer back down the road. |
