Description

Bonnet Protector Guards are usually supplied with metal clips that clip onto the front part of your bonnet. Over time it's likely the metal clips will rust out and cause rust marks on your bonnet, or at worst any movement will scratch your paint (like the cheap arse metal clips that came with the bonnet guard that I bought. The picture of the side bracket shows some of the scratches and rust that the metal brackets caused) These bonnet protector mounting brackets being plastic should greatly minimize this problem. Photo added showing the front clip in metal vs plastic replacement as a comparison.

So far I have found the plastic clips are actually a stronger and firmer fit (as well as doing far less damage to your paint work than the metal clips). The plastic washers that fit on the metal clips (if supplied) should not be required.

These are designed for a bonnet guard for a Ford Ranger, although may fit other makes and models. I needed 3 x front brackets and 2 x side brackets for mine. Use fixings (screws) that come with the bonnet protector (although again type and size may vary with brand, so suggest printing one out first and try it for fitment. Requires 5 x M5 10-12mm (stainless) round head bolts) If you need them to be adjusted for your vehicle, post a comment I'll see what I can do.
