Heres one on the same theme
When living abroard the trucks (pick-ups) had "bug deflectors" fitted to the leading edge of the bonnet. "deflected road grit / bugs / road salt"
So on aquiring a p38 i thought what the heck - why not and so ordered one
sourced out of the UK (produced it seems in Australia) it dully arriived and was a pretty easy instalation. 20-30mins
problem is these defectors do play with the "aerodynamics od a p38" - i hear you saying "p38´s have aerodynamics?"
Plus they are really designed to fit vehicles that run under 70MPH over that they start to flap / and the air disturbances they produce cause the the windscreen wipers to chatter against the windscreen (this can be eliminated by fitting the new generation of canterlever-less blades) but overall doesnt offset the extra air-flow noise.
all in all
Nice idea but unless you are trundling then on the autobahns motorways / expressways call them what you will find them rather irirating - iam sure they will be some one from the colonies that will beg to differ
PS fair-dos though- they do stop bonnet leading edge chipping!
