CAR BRA - FRONT & RADIATOR PROTECTION - INSECTS & STONE CHIPS - I30 2014 - BUY??

Interstate trips here in Australia - lots of insects and stone chips.

Where to buy a car bra for 2014 i30?
I tried Google search to no avail.

Anyone use these or other solution please....

hi Craig & Gonz

Thanks for your quick replys..

That which Car Bra Australia has is exactly what I'm after.
Didn't see any for 2014 i30 on their web site so put in the call on the forum to see if anyone had actually bought and used one ... and maybe some photos and prices....

I'll give them a phone call tomorrow and see if they have ever made one and what they cost.

Thanks again for your quick replys - much appreciated.

I would recommend this instead. Much cheaper spray on protection in Clear, Black or White (just peel off after the trip)

I think member Neptune is trialling it..

Car Bra Australia has is exactly what I'm after.
Spoke with them today - they don't keep this model in stock but will make within the week.
Cost $430 ......... too steep for me for the times I'd use it ...... seems a quality product though.

I might look into fiberglass fly screen from Bunnings and see what I can do for the times I'm on an interstate trip.

You aren't considering the spray I linked to?.. Would look like a car bra if you masked it up.. just peels off after you trip.. bugs and all.. :goodjob:

Thanks Dazzler - Spray paint good idea for protecting the paint but for my need no help in protecting the radiator from filling with bugs. Thanks for the thought though.

Hopefully you could get some Aluminium? mesh to help with that issue (use in conjunction with the spray shield?)

Cruiserfied .... There's the man!!!!!

Just what I need .... and at a good price of $153 delivered ... for me a justifiable purchase.

No wonder so few of us buy local anymore... compare to ....

I dont know how it would go with your skirts.
Also I would recommend studying the bumpers (FD & GD) to be sure they will match the Aussie bumpers.
