  • Another Newbie

    Good evening.
    I picked up my T4 2.5 tdi on a 52 plate yesterday and couldn’t be happier. It’s been nearly 30 years since I had to say goodbye to my bay window van.
    Hoping to pick up some good advice and friends along the way.
    So for my first question.... bonnet bra or vinyl wrap....??
    Thanks
    Dilly

            Hello and welcome mate. I'd say neither. Bra will hold moisture and the paint may fade where its not covered. Ask Teleg about getting wrap off. Dug in deeper than an Alabama tick to quote Jessie Ventura

              Hi and welcome. Bra is easy to fit but will damage the paintwork unless you take it off and clean and polish underneath regularly

                Hello Dilly. Welcome.

                Bra or wrap eh?

                For me it’s neither, but it’s all about personal choice.

                Got any pics?

                  Bra or wrap depends on the condition of the bonnet , I have a bra fitted as my bonnet is in terrible condition , it hides the stone chips and rust .

                    Same as mine Kev. I've no idea what state it's in. New bonnet planned once the lighting upgrade is sorted!

                      Thanks for all the welcome messages.
                      The previous owner said there was a wrap on before but he removed it. There is some touched in paintwork in the wrong colour and some repaired rust patches.
                      Thinking of the bra as it can be removed and cleaned..

                      How to you post pictures??

                        Should be straight forward from here onwards....

                          Welcome.

                          Neither - repaint the bonnet.

                            Hello Dilly, I have a Bra and it retains water so mine will be coming off in favour of just a bonnet with some tape from mountain biking days to protect the lip, that’s the plan anyway [emoji23]
