hi mike - what is your cleaning regime for your bonnet bra?

I just remove it once a week and leave it off for a couple of days. This lets it dry out if necessary and I can then clean the bonnet too. The leather just wipes clean with a damp cloth. Yu can treat them with some leather polish I guess but I have not bothered yet...

Lazy! Page 1 has an index of mods anyway.... ;)

I think Mike bought his off another member on here, but I'm looking at getting one from www.autobra.co.uk as they're only about £65 for the Ibiza.

I did buy it off another member on here; it is the Autobra one: CLICKY LINKY

A few updates today

Been quite busy today, so a few updates:

UPDATE 1: De-mist headlight mod (ie. drilling the top of the light unit to let the air circulate)

UPDATE 3: looking at freeing up the passage of air going to/through the SMIC. Look how restrictive it is! Thinking about removing the fog light and adapting the trim somehow to let more air at the intercooler. Will have a proper look tomorrow.....
