Want to buy a BRA for a pre face lift 1999 E 55 / E430 sport (AMG bumper with round fogs). Would prefer one with out license cut out and with out headlight washer cut outs. If you have one you would like to sell just PM me.

I really dont understand the US fascination with these. Is it just me or would you agree they look god damn awful?

Sorry YM, not for me.

Guys, a bra on a car is not a fashion statement, I have a need for one as love bug season is upon Florida now. Until you are experienced you would not understand the need.

Yacht Master, I can relate to what you're talking about concerning those Florida love bugs sure can do damage to your paint if not corrected immediately. I had a 66 Corvette when I was stationed (USN) in Orlando. It seems like I had to wash it every day during the season. Go ahead and get the bra, better the bra than the paint, fashion out the window.

I have experience as I drive thru the salad bowl of CA all the time. Get a clear bra. Why ruin the look of your beautiful car when you can get the protection you need in a better looking way?

Yacht Master

Can't unhook the clear bra and throw it in a washer.
I know what I want. Don't care what it looks like.
Just not in to cleaning 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Sun baked bugs entrails off the car after a trip. OK

This is 2 hours,

My commute is 4.5 hours

4.5 hours ouch. Good point about washing the bra though!

of caution about a bra....keep it clean and always take it off so it can dry if it gets wet...keep the front end under the bra waxed and polished....the light dirt that gets under a bra can and will scratch your paint.

I will have to agree with Yacht Master on this one. I recently moved back to Boston but I was living in Miami for 2 years at the end of my stay I had to commute to Fort Lauradale and back... I still have flash backs it was awful. Everyday when I get home I would at least wash her down. Get the bra but make sure you park in a garage the FL sun will and can give you a 2 tone look if not. just an fyi

Yacht Master

Still looking,

YachtMaster is so right... don't flame him especailly if you never experienced the FL. LOVEBUGS!

Last year I drove my RAV4 from Boca to Orlando and I had a gazillion bugs all over the front!!! It was nasteeeeey! Ate up some of my clearcoat in no time! I was so pissed I ended up selling it after a few months.... SOOO, a bra is for a purpose... please don't flame its usefulness.

Contact Colgan Custom in So Cal and talk to the production Manager
It was special ordered with NO front plate or H/L Washer cut outs
She made me Two for my 2000 W210 Estate with the AMG E55 Body kit on it
The Sport and the AMG Bra is the same. Colgan also made one in the carbon Fiber material...It works great for road trips

Easy guys, I am not, nor was I flaming anybody.

A lot of people don't know about clear bras and I was just trying to throw it out there as a better looking solution. If you want a leather bra and it works for you go for it. I was just trying to help out.

Don't worry bro... no bad intentions. It's these dang FL bugs that are a menace to our cars' clearcoat/paint. Their juices and acids eat up the body in no time! Clear or leather bras are both likely good solutions. Peace.
