Does anyone have one they want to get rid of? Or know where they can be purchased cheap (i dont care about quality). Before i get flamed about how ugly they are and bla bla bla, i agree! But at the moment, we have an extreamly bad locust outbreak. So bad, they are clogging up the front of peoples cars and overheating them etc. They also stain paintwork and strip wax. In otherwords, they're friggin nasty! So i was after a cheap or second hand car bra as i feel it will look better than a piece of shade cloth, and be better for my car AND work better.

They make custom ones to fit Libertys. No idea about price. Maybe email them for a quote?

I know how you feel mate, I went to Mudgee on the weekend and by the time I got home, instead of a white GT in the parking spot there was a white (at the back) black, red and green GT... Too little too late for me... spent ages cleaning it as well as my gf's car.

You don't really NEED a car bra though, I have seen a lot of people using a mesh material out in the country that seems to do the trick.

Quite simply the best thing you can buy to protect a car that does country driving.

ZI bought one for my girl's Celica when we moved from Melbourne to WA. Use it every time we go country in her car.

100,000 Km and not one stone chip on the front end - let alone any bug issues.

My Lib - 4 country drives and a stone chip for almost every trip.

I have the 3M film over the front of mine and not one stone chip since and I do a lot of country driving at times.

I also have a piece of fiberglass mesh I bought from Bunings and about 10 bulldog clamps I pop on when I am going out of Sydney to stop the bugs getting into the radiator/Air Cond /Auto tranny cooler

The fibreglass mesh is a good idea. That's also stop stones from damaging the coolers, which could be expensive!
