The only car bra I can find thru Google is the LeBra but I don't see any photos of it on a MK VI. Has anyone bought a car bra for their MK VI and is it worth it?
Is it worth it? It really depends on why you buy it and how you use it. A bra can reduce stone chips on your hood and some people think they look "cool". However, be aware that a loose bra will flap in the wind and it can damage the very paint you want to protect. Also, they car hold moisture (water) and this also can damage paint. After rain, snow, or a car wash - they should be removed and allowed to dry thoroughly before re-installing. I had a friend who bought a bra for his Porsche and left it on for 2 years. He was really upset when he took it off and discovered that his paint was ruined and his hood rusted. A bra should not be installed permanently. How useful it is depends on how and where you drive.The only car bra I can find thru Google is the LeBra but I don't see any photos of it on a MK VI.

x2You can do what I did and install a clear bra. The brand I got was digishield. Think of it like a giant screen protector you see on phones nowadays.
I had the clear bra installed (3M Ventureshield) on my Jetta and my wife's Touareg. I had 18" of the hood, fender, mirrors, bumper, headlights and fog lights covered. Great stuff and great protection. Highly recommend it.I'm thinking of 3M or Xpel clear bra and still hesitating which one is better and whether it is worth or not.
I installed clear bra and its worth it period , protect form chips on the road ,try tint windows shop i did in New Jersey. Shop have computer software and they can cut and wrap hole car if you want
they literally did the WHOLE hood? and the fender? if so, then wow...niceI just (Saturday 10/29) got PPF on my 2012 Golf. Had it done at The Tint Shop on Rt.1 in Edison, New Jersey. Cost is variable depending on what you have done. Mine ran about 600. which included (bumper, grill, hood, fenders, headlights, fog lights, mirrors, door handle cups and top of the rear bumper just below the hatch. They used Avery Nano Fusion film. As the guy (Rich) who installed it said to me; "if you know its there, you can see it, if you don't know it's there you dont see it.
To me it all depends on the particular angle that your viewing it from as to whether you see it or not. "it's clear, not invisible". If you call (732-650-9100), ask for Rich- he's the guy who installs it, he's been doing this since 1999, he knows what he's doing. BTW, I dont know these people or anyone associated with them. I just know they did a good job for me.
