wanky bonnet bra will take the rest of the paint off and make it worse.

I've found that bonnet bra's tend to hold water in them and then make them rust

If it's only a temporary measure, stick some paint on the exposed areas. Will be cheaper and look better.

I see bonnet bras up for sale quite a bit and my old car seems to be used most times in the thread. Mine never damaged the paint work , but only had it on when sunny and not very often

i have a smoothed badge bonnet bra well 3 in fact.
yes the do mist the lacquer up but when removed for a few days it goes back to normal. if people read the instructions your not meant to leave it on your car all the time.
As mine was for my show car what i did was only attach it at a show and way to/from a show then left it off when at home. had no problems at all. is annoying keep taking it on and off but its a 30sec job
£70 new you can have it for £35 + postage

Personal preference, tbh I've just done mine from corner to corner where bonnet meets wing with carbon cause of paint chips ect, does look pretty good tbh lpl
