Headlight covers, weather shields, car bra

[Foxpuppet]

anyone know a good place in sydney or online oz wide to get T5.2 accessories like Headlight covers, weather shields, car bra etc?

ebay is not always my friend with car parts like these so being able to see them in the flesh is nice.

cheers

i imported a bunch from the UK from dubfecta a while ago, i think they do headlight covers.

I buy most of my stuff from Germany direct. Most stuff is universal, just be careful though only some are LHD specific.

I have sent some emails to the people I used when we lived in the UK.

Will get back to you with the replies I get.

Sorry guys I would be wrong if I didn,t pass on some important information on "Car Bras" , I am a motor trimmer by trade and used to sell and custom make quite a few of these things . Now I would always warn customers first of a few things that are very important , my own experience is that they should "NEVER" be left on after rain as they will cause water marking into the paint . Next never put them on on dirt roads {yes I know thats where you would think it would be best used } but because the car bra moves around on the car due to wind pressure and wind lifting them up {thats why they have those ugly wedges sewn onto them } a small amount of dust can get under the bra and you may as well get some sand paper and scratch the paint because thats what will happen . Around the edges of the bonnet it will cause undue marking again because of movement and pressure .
I tried one many years ago on my brand new Mazda 929 2 door hardtop back in 1984 , after taking it off and on when raining and to clean under it I realised that it was causing more damage than it saved !!!! . I came to realize that the cost of repainting the bonnet for resale etc was less than the cost of the bra and all the drama and time fitting and removing it . Please note this is a personal opinion from experience so don,t let this stop you if you really want one , maybe some other Vanners will pass on their experience . Howard
