[color=#000000ost_uid0]hey all,
seen a yellow sp20 on chaps the last couple of weeks whilst dining with the missus... she thinks it is a good idea to fit one to my car after the front bar gets replaced.... i have a quote from car bras australia for $319.00.... seems a bit steep.... any other companies around oz that sell them? cheers, Bill[/colorost_uid0] |

[color=#000000ost_uid14]It just so happens that my missus did some reasearch for a car bra for me,and she was put onto a place called [bost_uid14]Robco Products[/bost_uid14] 49 Sheperd st Marrickville,0295605393
They speciallise in custom,but im sure they would do standard 1's too,give them a ring [/colorost_uid14]

[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]Why u want a car bra? If it costs that much then u'd be better off respraying the front bar a few years down the track. Stone chips look a helluva lot better than a big black cover. Plus they scratch everything up anyway.... any dust and it gets rubbed across the paint!

[color=#0000FFost_uid4]hey kyra,
* why dont you use the old bar for long trips and just buy a bonnet protector? and keep the good bar at home it will save you abit of dollars. :: just an idea. -Mick[/colorost_uid4]

[color=#000000ost_uid0]Hi all,
* * * Has anyone ever heard of 3M Scotchcal Paint Protection Film? It's like a piece of film they stick to your hood, bumper bar, etc and is thick enough to prevent stonechips. Companies like Stongard in the US sell a pre cut kit (unfortunately, none for Astinas I think). *I have been looking for a company in Australia that does this OR possibly buying the damn tape from 3M and trying to cut out a kit for myself OR taking the tape to a window tinting / pinstripping place Check this site out www.stongard.com ???[/colorost_uid0]

[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]Nupes, if you're happy to give me a few days, I'll ask my dad about it for Astinas. He heads up a 3M division. What model do u have?

[color=#FF0000ost_uid0]No, no pre-cut sheets in Oz..... and dont think theres any for Astina anyway. Its just applied by tinting people.... easy to cut, easy to apply if u know wat you're doin supposedly. Uncut sheets readily available. Thats all the info i got!
Cheers Brad[/colorost_uid0]
