Hey all.

This might seem silly but since i got my car i have noticed there are a few paint chips at the front and i don't want it to get to bad. Like i understand this is part of a cars life due to driving on a road that contains stones but i like to keep my stivo shiny and smick. Has anyone had a solution to this that they use personally to help keep the front of the car non chipped lol blink.gif blink.gif blink.gif

You can put some headlight protectors. That way you will at least have some sort of protection. wink.gif

or you buy a car bra and leave it on the car the whole time

You could try the optional factory bonnet protector. I have one on mine and don't have any stone chips that I'm aware of.

Another thing is to not drive so close to 4wd, trucks and cars without mud flaps.

Omn1potent has a bra (Only on the car as far as I know tongue.gif ) and it actually looks ok.

Just get a bonnet and bumper respray every 3 years.

well getting a respray every three years sounds very sensible ph34r.gif

Just drive without a hood or front bar, biggrin.gif

unfortunately its just one of those inevitable things. When sh#t happens it happens. I remember when i first bought my r34, i narrowly missed a massive chunk of rock which was flinged by a truck. I was thinking to myself, "WOW that was lucky" but when i had a proper look, the stone missed my hood and screen but left a nice line on my roof.
