I think a better title would be "Show me vans owned by carpet fitters or kitchen fitters"
THIS is what pimped means

Why do people fit those bonnet covers? Stone chips?
I'm reliably informed by an American friend that it's called a "car bra." Srsly.
They're really prevalent in the US. I think it's supposed to be to guard against stone chips or dead bugs or something, though quite why the front few inches of your bonnet is more in need of protection than the skirt or any other part of the front of the car, I have no idea.
I suspect that mostly, it's a solution to a non-existent problem, bought on the assumption that if they're selling them then I must need one.

Was on it when I got it - think it looks good tho
FWIW never read Max power and don't moisturise

I'd be concerned that those bonnet covers would retain moisture, causing premature rust. Might be OK in SoCal - not in SoCroy.

Good skills! That's a tight squeeze for two of you. Nearest I've ever got was a Mini.

Bonnet Bras: I wouldn't fit one cos they look a bit wierd, and not having one is the easy way to spot my t4 amongst the other 25 in any Devon or Cornwall beach or forest car park. However, the only place mine has stone chips on is the lower half of the bonnet. So perhaps there is a point.

More pimped up than pimped out:

Personally I think the car bra's look aweful and I'd rather get a full bonnet respray every few years than drive around with a lump of black plastic strapped across the front of the car, but each to his own eh!
