I'd rather pay for a respray too. Those 'bras' look pretty awful imho.

As an aside what sort of cost can be expected to get the badge panel resprayed ?

Depends how much work you do yourself- such as removing the panel from your car. I would re=spray the headlight covers at the same time. The cheapest it could be is the cost of paint if you can DIY, which for a 1/2 litre of primer and topcoat in 2-pack would be tens of pounds. Most expensive if you present car to the paint shop and they do all the work, I would guess at up to a couple of hundred pounds for a decent job- i.e. panels removed from car, stripped to bare metal and any rust removed before painting.
Or you could touch in the stone chips yourself.

I bought a bra from the US ebay and wish I had fitted it recently traveling down the motorway . I sustained a hard hit on the badge panel ! looks like a missile hit it ! The thing about painting the badge panel and light covers is getting the correct colour match ! hard to do it with metallic paint . The only snag about the bra is that the front number plate hole is not big enough so would not be legal to use on british roads . Suppose you could fit the bra then fit the front plate over it . I think the bra looks fine on a dark colour 944 and does serve a purpose to protect aginst high speed stone chips !

I always thought that bras were popular in hot climates such as the US and Australia, primarily to stop the front of the car getting covered in dead flies, as opposed to stopping stone chipping.

ZC the idea of the flaps is to divert the airflow, with bugs etc over the screen.
