Whether you’re a daily driver, frequent motorway user, or passionate about keeping your vehicle looking its best, protecting the front end of your car is essential. One simple and effective way to safeguard your paintwork is with a bonnet bra — a protective cover that shields the most exposed areas of your vehicle from stone chips, grit, insects, and road debris.
At UK Custom Covers, we offer both half bonnet bras and full bonnet bras, designed to suit different protection needs and driving styles.
What Is a Bonnet Bra?
A bonnet bra (sometimes known as a stone guard or car protection cover) is a tailored cover that fits securely over the front section of your vehicle — protecting the paintwork from chips, scratches, and road debris.
Bonnet bras are particularly useful for:
-
Motorway and high-speed driving
-
Long trips and touring
-
Roads with loose gravel or debris
-
Vehicles with light-coloured paintwork
They are quick to fit, easy to remove, and designed for everyday use.

Why Every Vehicle Can Benefit From a Bonnet Bra
Even well-maintained vehicles can pick up stone chips or scuffs on exposed areas. A bonnet bra provides a protective barrier that helps:
-
Shield paintwork from gravel, grit, and stones
-
Reduce scratches and minor impact damage
-
Deflect insects and tar splatter
-
Keep the front end looking cleaner on long trips
-
Help preserve the value and finish of your vehicle
Whether you drive a hotel shuttle, business vehicle, family car, or sporty coupe, bonnet bras help maintain a sharper look over time.
How to Fit and Care for Your Bonnet Bra
Fitting a bonnet bra is simple and quick — most designs secure with durable fastenings and gentle tension, ensuring a snug fit without damaging your paintwork.
Tips for care:
-
Wash the bra regularly to remove trapped dirt
-
Remove the bra occasionally to clean the bonnet underneath
-
Store in a dry location when not in use
With proper care, a quality stone guard lasts for multiple seasons of use.
