Default Car Bra

Looking at purchasing a car bra for my LR Focus and got quoted $352 from Car-bra australia, does anyone else know if anyone supplies these. Also if you have one or had one your experiances with them would be a great help.

Had one on the TE50. They protect, but a pain in the **** to put on, and you're not supposed to use them in the wet (water gets underneath and rubs). I gave up after a while.

If u do that, get a body colour matched one. I've seen the ads in Motor mag I think... they don't look so gay.

Colour matching ones cost a lot more. I was thinking getting the zetec badge put on the front but we will see

I've had a couple of bras for different model cars. Robco Products also make a good quality one.

You can use them in the rain, you're just not supposed to leave them on there forever if they get wet. It's important to make sure the car is spotlessly clean and the bra before fitting. I used to always hose mine out after each use to remove any dust etc then let it dry on the clothes line. Once adjusted properly they are not that hard to fit either.

And I never once got even the slightest rub marks from using them. Highly recommend one, in fact I'm looking at getting one for our Mazda 6 at the moment. ;)

Sorry to drop in and move off topic, but... Sunshades for Focus. I've just spotted them on the accessories lists.
Have had them on the Territories and with Tint they are great and real dark from outside, nice inside. They clip inside the window unlike a sock and windows can still be fully used. Thought you guys may find them worth a look.
