You mean what they call a mask?
Leather sleeve that fits across the front of the bonnet to stop chips like they seem to do on VWs more than anything?

See autobra.co.uk they say they do a bonnet bra for the FL2

Hi, not the leather looking bra thing but tinted plastic like what wind deflectors are made off.

Correct Ron. Here's mine made by egr who supply them for Land Rover! The genuine items are sold with the LAND ROVER on the bonnet guard for the D2/D3/D4. The Range Rover and Range Rover Sports one obviously have RANGE ROVER on them. Land Rover did not ask EGR to make any official bonnet protectors for the FL2 but that didn't stop EGR making them anyway. The bonnet guards tend to be market specific accessories for the USA, Australia and Middle East mainly.

Not a bad idea. I've got a collection of stone chips in that area. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
300TDi Disco (bought new - terrible car) sent back after 18 months
Freelander 1 Estate - leased, given back at end of lease
200TDi Disco (bought from a mate with 100,000 on the clock) - Gone
Disco 2 TD5 - sold and exported to France
FR2 TD4 GS - Gone
FR2 SD4 HSE - Now changed for a DS
New model ex-demo Evoque S 180 in white
Unable to order a new DS, so gave up. Now have a Volvo S90 Recharge.

Do they shield the bugs or collect them like them numberplates do?

Decades ago there were lots of cars wearing Car Bras, but these days cars have been liberated & look better without. I have no problem looking at hail damage!

3M make a clear protection film so you can still see everything!

The problem with bonnet protectors is leafs get stuck behind them. A bit like what girls do with their mobile phones, not a good look! Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!

It attaches via 3 hex head screws in the centre region and 2 u-clip side supports. No drilling is required as the bonnet protector uses the existing holes in the bonnet. All you need to do is insert a plastic threaded plug for each hole.
