I’ve seen quite a few cars with a strange cover on the front end. I initially assumed it was the car repair version of a temporary crown – ie a short term covering. It isn’t.
This is a car bra. Not designed as you might think to provide uplift or support to front heavy cars, rather it is designed to prevent against stone chips and bug juice on your bonnet. You can get some that wrap around the whole front end, or just the leading edge of the bonnet. Two things about this strike me:
1) the result is infinitely worse than the after effects of swarms of insects of lorry loads worth of stone chippings would cause. Presumably these people are keeping their cars nice but for what? It is like putting plastic covers on sofas you use.
2) the only cars you see these things on are the crappiest looking Toyotas or Nissans that are so astonishingly unattractive that it is inconceivable that anyone would bother trying to protect them from bugs or chips or anything at all.
I found one for my car. Here’s what it would look like:
No chance.
