hm ... I wonder if theres a Car Bra for Aircooled Beetles? I am really interested in getting one, due to daily driving my Lovely Low Rider, I really need one to get away from stone chips hitting my bonnet everyday! 🙁

Please let me know if you ever saw one or know where to grab one!

Thanks! :kiss

This guy makes custom design car bras.
Whether you want whole bonet, half bonet, and front guards, have seen his work and it doesn't look to bad.

here is a pic of his own car with car bra attached.

Buzzbug,

You had Me looking there for a while!!!!
Yes My Son has one on His oval Beetle... One piece fits over the entire bonnet and the other piece goes over both guards..
In the UK, they have clear perspex that bolts to the bumper..
just to deflect stones away from the bonnet.. they are shaped etc... I've only seen them in books & UK magazines..

yeah Lee, the whole bonnet ones tend to blend in with the car pretty well.
Thought they are not really cheap but not over the top expensive.
I think that i might try and have a shot at it myself one day.
Crack out the wifes sewing machine and see how i go.

Hello everyone!

Thanks! The custom ones looks great! but I wonder how much they cost ?!! I'll give a call to them...

Or if anyone can supply the price here, that'd be great! Even if u saw normal Black car bra's, I am happy to know the price 🙂

Thanks.

Can look cool on the right car , especially if it's nicely dumped on the front and the bra fits nice and tight , eh ladies ( sorry , couldn't resist! LOL). I'm getting one very soon for sure. I want to put some k's on it and still keep it looking nice. True sign of a cruiser mate!
