Car bra
I am a newbie to the website and this is definitely the best site I have seen
I ran a search this morning on car bras and didn't find very much newer material (mostly 2004-2005). I want to get a car bra for the few longer trips I take each year. The problem I have is that I have a Lorinser front lip (2002 C320 - see attached picture) and I don't know if a standard Colgan Custom bra will work. Can anyone lend some advice on this as to what they use? Thanks.

'04 Mars Red C230K Sport Coupe (not Coup-EH)
I have the Colgan bra for the coupe, though I don't use it daily anymore. The tricky part with your lip is that the Colgan has two small hooks on the bottom (where the bumper has "struts" in between the mesh parts) to hold it down, which shouldn't be too much of a problem if you extend them or just stretch the material. The hard part comes in the hooks for the bottom front of the wheelwells, as the clips for that part are pretty exacting and the fit (at least for mine) is pretty tight. With the lip it looks like it sticks out too far for you to have a comfortable fit, IMO.

Sorry I didn't comprehend what you said in your previous message (delayed intelligence). I thought you had said you stretched the material, but you were telling me that I would probably have to. I think I will call Colgan on Monday and see if they make any custom pieces (which I probably won't want to cough up the money for 
). I really don't want to spend the money for a clear bra, plus I don't drive enough to warrant one. Thanks for your help!
