Wasso Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 You may be wondering why such a question is being posted in the General 350z area.... That's because I'm looking to loan a CAR Bra for a day or so next weekend. Happy to pay for delivery and collections, along with some beer tokens your way? I know it's a long shot but does anyone have one? (No Dave (SPD) not that sort of Bra ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Wrap the car up in tape? I assume it to get the car home stone chip free til the paint sets? I hear that masking tape works quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 If the car is where I think it is... would they not do a quick 20 second wrap on the front end for you with "any" spare wrap they have laying around? Presuming you are spending a decent lump of cash with them...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Thats a good idea. Could make it look like a new model from Nissan if you do it cammo style with loads of different off cuts and colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Clingfilm. I've done that before on the way to a show where I didn't want to have to clean the car again when I got there. Worked an absolute treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 you lot crack me up, I'm serious god damn it Ekona you've wrapped your car in cling film, that is utter crazy, did you have somebody wrap you in the car I can't have any type of wrap on the car as it's heated on, and just like any new paint you can't apply anything on it for 6 weeks this is why I thought of a Bra. Mrs was going to lend her Bra, although plenty of cup, just not enough to cover the front end. I could just drive VERY slowly and away from all cars, but that is just impossible on both accounts. There must be someone with a Car Bra (I hope) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 They are truly awful and I never understood the point of having your car look so incredibly fugly whilst you own it so you keep the paint nice for the next owner. I know you only want it for a temporary solution Wasso so that's cool, it's more the fools that leave them on all year round that I don't get.

BulletMagnet Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Get Jayne to drive in front of you all the way home. Which technically speaking, is a car bra.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Could always just drive it home at stupid o'clock in the morning/night. No traffic about and you can go as slow as you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Could always just drive it home at stupid o'clock in the morning/night. No traffic about and you can go as slow as you like I recon this is the best answer.... Ask them about masking tape... see what they say as you are not really supposed to put ANYTHING on the paintwork for a while are you? If you are still on jury duty, could you leave it with them for 6 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I still don't see why you can't use clingfilm. Loads of it on, and secure it under the bodywork. No worse than a car bra rubbing on the paint. Job = carrot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roo Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I wish I had when I got mine done There is this stuff http://www.tracwrap.com/ But I can only find it in US Unless you use something like these people http://www.tesa.co.uk/industry/automoti ... 237,1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasso Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 nice one Dave Like the look of tracwrap, very nice. Might have to enquire about this sort of stuff for European trips, the Ring or even Wales. Good find. The cling film could be a viable option, but just have this horrible image of bits of film flapping around in the wind. Might give it a go. I guess it's a cheap and simple solution Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I can understand you wanting to protect the front Ian, do you have AA cover, maybe you could drive it half a mile down the road, render it undriveable* then get it taken home on a flatbed * see Bennett for details Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
