    I support this perspective from my experiences too. The clear plastic ones just clip on and off. I also use the bonnet protector which also gets fractured from stones.

    I'm not sure what the grill one does, I think even sticks will go through them, and if the stick is big enough to cause damage then the grill isn't going to change much anyway.

    I've got the plastic covers and have not noticed a difference with the light transmission.
    I do like the "look" of the nylon grill covers ... not enough to believe that they actually work though!

    I get the feeling the Grill Style just look good/ I agree they do but I found out you have to drill the wing and grill... No going back then so it's a no

    Clear ones for me!~~

    I decided to buy the Perspex Covers.

    My dad in the UK when to Land Rover and bought them for 28 pounds. As he's coming to visit next week. All over the Packaging is "Made in Australia"!!

    Update

    New lens protectors in, 30 seconds to clip in. Very tough material.

    Very pleased... they do freshen up the look too.
