.....stone chips etc on the motor way? I have a carbon bonnet and dont want to fuck it up when I drive to Santa Pod.

I am sure I have seen something that goes over the front but I cannot remember where I saw it. If anyone could let me know the best place to look, would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Buy a bra for it. Not sure if they do one for the Corsa, but is worth a look.

I know loads of VW lads and lasses use them, even think Icy has one for his.

bra looks a bit messy, clear film is underrated

look on that site where ferrari hit pit wall and got dented, not a mark on the paintwork

I have a feeling that Airsteem costs a bloody fortune though... Guess it's worth it if you've had a respray though...

I haven't got a carbon bonnet but on my car I've never bothered with any sort of protection from stone chips. I'm just going to get it resprayed but its taken the bonnet 75,000 miles to get to the sort of condition where I'm wanting to get it resprayed. Could see why you would want to protect if you had flip paint though as would be hard to get a good match.

If you get the proper stuff done properly then it will have a warrenty so you don't need to worry about stuff like that because it's ot your problem...
