    Discovery 3 2006 Bonnet Chequer plate

    Hi there, I have a Discovery 3 2006 in fair condition. The bonnet has a bit of hail damage and the paint is fading away badly.
    Seeing as it’s used mainly for off-roading, I don’t want to spend on a respray. Does anyone know of any bonnet protection such as chequer plating or any other suggestions?

    thanks

    Depending on how you attach chequer plate , it never really sits flat and sweats and gets dust under it. It might not matter to a defender because it has no straight panels , but may affect the look of your Discovery.

    You can buy a false self adhesive simulated plastic product but I'm unsure how it would last in the heat....engine & sun.

    Surely someone here has tried what you want to do.

    In design only, actual product may vary.
    If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.

    Would flat panels rather than straight be a better description? Flatter than a D3 at least.
