Ive been looking for a car bra for my octavia as i had one on my old mk3 golf gti and it worked really well and looked great even though i had mixed feelings from others its a bit of a marmite modification you either like it or you dont anyway back to the subject i ordered one over a month ago from autobra but they keeping letting me down so was wondering if anyone knew of any where else i could get one from?????

What like this?

Its awful!

You'll also need to balaclava so you match when your driving.

Feck me thats some bra.

I like the irony of my mate Mats car bra..

Bra on a rusty bonnet..lol

i only want the bit that covers the bonnet and i said some people like them and some dont lol

oh my god am i weird lol......

na just different.....

when i used to do car shows a while back a mate used to use some thickish plastic (a bit like clingfilm) he used to just peel it off at shows (this was a concours winning rs500) and then he used to put it back on goin home , i will ask him what it was if you want!

A respray of the whole bonnet can be had for £70.

It's needed maybe once in 10 years.

How much does a bad looking bra cost?

Greg.

its not just to protect the paint work as i like the look of them especially on a yellow car and its good to stand out of the crowd. this is a pic of one on my old golf gti

not sure if this picture comes up will have to try again lol

whhhyyy???? :confused::confused:

look sooo bad imho.. cars get stonechips if you use them, live with it lol..

each to their own though

Have to admit - looks good on that VW. Only thing is that it can chafe the paintwork and so you need to clean the car really well before fitting, make sure the bra is spotless and tighten it up all the time (I had one on a car some 15 years ago). ended up taking it off tbh....

My 2p worth

Bas

Waste of time and look awful IMO

They look so ugly and probally trap a load of moisture underneath.

Try the website AutoBra UK - Automotive Car Bras & Bonnet Bras

Funny you should ask this, I have been looking at them myself this morning for my octavia.

As you said, its like marmite, But I love them!

finally someone who thinks like me lol, they do the job they are meant for and nothing puts me off a car more than when looking to buy one than big fat ugly stone chips all over the front. they fit tight to the car so no moisture or grime can get under them the only thing you have to do is take them off regulary and clean underneath well.

its always good to hear other peoples feelings even if they are not the same as yours this is what makes the world go round

Not only ugly, and trouble in themselves; IME they don't protect the really vulnerable area on an Octy anyway ( leading edge of rear arch ).

I'm in the same position as you. I ordered one from Autobra a few weeks back but am still waiting. I've spoken to them and they were out of stock, they said they should have more this week and they should be out shortly

well ive finally recieved mine today after been on order for 5 weeks. It was a bit of a let down really mainly because of the quality of the product.I ordered one a few years back for a mk3 golf from america and it was a lot better but i couldnt remember where i got it from shame really.

Ill try it on the car later and post a few pics

"Bring out the GIMP...

...the GIMP's sleeping."

Ive just been out for the last hour trying to fit this car bra and it was a total waste of time. It has to many clips which are made of sharpe metal which can and could catch on painted surfaces and are not long enough to fit in any holes on the bonnet, then there were two straps with plastic on which dangle over the engine which could be dangerious when the engine gets hot.

the only positive thing is that it looked well good on it in my opinion, but its not worth all the hassle.

just found the american website i got my old mk3 one from but they dont do skoda's.....doh

Ive finally got round to putting my pictures of my car bra on, looks good just a shame about the quality.
