1. Protective Plastics
The mainstream Australian option. Vehicle-specific moulding, tinted to blend with the bonnet, clips to factory hardware without drilling. $120-$180 from 70 Series Store. Two variants available: 2016-2023 pre-facelift and 2024 onward facelift.
2. EGR
Premium Australian-made bonnet protector with slightly heavier construction. $150-$200. Same vehicle-specific fitment as Protective Plastics. Stronger UV resistance and longer typical service life.
3. Pre-2024 vs Facelift Variants
The 2024 facelift changed the 70 Series bonnet shape and hardware mounting points. Bonnet protectors are specific to either pre-2024 or 2024 onward. Confirm fitment by build date before ordering.
4. Installation
Clip-on installation using factory bonnet hardware points. No drilling, no permanent modification. 15-20 minute install with a screwdriver. All edges are bevelled to prevent damage to the bonnet paint underneath.
5. What They Actually Protect
The leading edge of the bonnet absorbs 95% of stone strikes on gravel roads. A bonnet protector deflects stones away from the paint, prevents chip damage that eventually rusts, and reduces insect damage on long highway runs. Saves $1,500-$3,000+ in repaint cost over the life of the vehicle.
