Re: Experience with vinyl cover/bra
A lot of experience. I have oems on both 2005s. The roadster has 34k miles and no problems underneath at all. The caveat -- summer driver and rarely out in the rain. I take it off a few times each summer and clean real well underneath and apply 3-4 coats of wax. Brush off and vacuum the underside of the bra. The front end is immaculate. By comparison, my 2003 A6 was driven by the original owner 37k miles braless. Lots of rock dings. I touched them up and covered it with a bra for the last 131k miles. This one has some rub marks because it is the winter driver, but nothing compared to the damage avoided by rocks, salt chunks, etc. Apply some Armorall with a glove and it sheds bugs with just a hose-off. PS-I take the bras off for the winter so the paint can "breathe". Both front ends look brand new.
