    Im prepared to get flamed for this but its a legitimate problem. When I go up north to the cottage the car gets absolutely plastered with bugs, grasshoppers and dragonflies and its ridiculous to take the bumper off to clean it all out time and time again. So, I figured if I had some sort of a bra for the front of the car, this would save me hours of labour as well as let me take the boxer up north and then peel the thing off when I get there. Any suggestions? A clear plastic type of film wont do, its the rads and grill im trying to protect more than anything. Ive seen them on 355s, they dont look amazing but beats wrecking the front of the car. Any boxer owners have one or is that a little too ghey?

    Whata you think Flella?

    But to keep things tidy up there and save a couple hours of cleaning, I’d wear a bra.
    Just be sure to take your bra off before flexing your muscles!

    Not sure I know of a bra that'll protect the 'open' areas (grille inlets) too.

    I have seen photos of Boxer with them on (possibly offered by 'speed lingerie', which fits in nicely with the porn comments) or maybe ebay, so I know they're made. Just seems they're not going to offer rad protection too.

    Clarify if I've missed something.

    Had a bra on my 308 back when they were cool ( if ever ).
    They are for protecting the paint not the radiator fins as if it did that there would be no airflow. It is possible to block the radiator but you can only drive it when the outside temp is below 0. Takes alot of the fun out.
    Possibly a temporary chicken wire screen held on with tie wraps ?
    Thats what the FormulaMazda guys do.

    About 20 years ago I had a bra built for my boxer. It was black vinal with a soft white backing and clear plastic panels for the turn signals. It only fit over the top painted bonnet, so it didn't protect the grill or bottom fiberglass.

    Had to raise the bonnet to slip on the front of the bra, then it had snaps on little brackets which attached to the screws that held in the back of the turn signals.

    It only flapped a little but was an annoyance at speed. It was on the car a month then put in a box and given away when I sold that car.

    I wouldn't waist your time on a bra...

    I was thinking more along the lines of just covering from the bumper edge down in vinyl with a screen in the grille and light area. Im not givng up yet, speed lingerie doesnt make them for a boxer though.
