    Why Would you do This??

    Hi took a pic of this the other day and still wondering why anyone would bother, The head, parking and indicators wouldn't work all that well the no. plate is not visable, the grill was half covered and the dirt and grit would have to get in between the cover and the paint and shurly scratch the paint.
    Suppose it might be good for speed camera's??

    protects the car against stone chips on the paint........or perhaps its a concept car if it had a roll down flap over the radiator it would be used for wading
    Our Land Rover does not leak oil! it just marks its territory.......

    Waste of time and money. The paint will be wrecked by the abrasion of the "protector".

    I believe the modern politically correct term for having such a set up would be "owner-operator".
    Us older ones would use the non-PC term of "******".

    Do you mean drive a Toyota or have meshthing of the front of your Toyota,
    I think in the world of tools it is supposed to stop damage from stone chips etc.
    The beauty of a Land Rover is this is the last thing you are concerned about lol

    Might not see well at night, He can live with that.
    Might hold moisture but, He can't see it's so it not a problem.
    No. plate covered but hey, He owns a 4wd/I mean the road so doesn't care.
    But atleast theres no stone chips, He couldn't live with that.


    Mate off mine used to wash his Nissan by hand after every trip and could tell me how many stone chips he had and which trip they were from.

    Cheers.

    Obstruction of the number plate might be an issue too.
