Clear bra on my used 335i?

youngbuck · 06-20-2010, 11:32 PM

I've had my car for a while now, sapphire black 08' coupe. I had it detailed the other day and the detail shop told me that I should put a clear bra on it. I have some rock chips which they said touch up paint would hide fine. I probably should of done this from the get go, but, can you do it on a used car that is not showroom condition? Does it look okay? Let me know what you think!

P.S. Happy Fathers Day!

Best,
YB

I have put on clear bra on my previous vehicle, audi a5, and now my 335. I would definitely invest in one as it will protect your front end from future rock chips. If you did not have it, then you would be spending time day in, day out painting your front end with touch up paint. Get on it!

Yes, even if you have a few rock chips, it is still worth it.
