Maybe a silly question, but do the bonnet protectors work very well?
I seem to get most of my bugs on my nudge bar and grill so im guessing thats where the rocks go too!
They look good, but i might be too lazy to clean under them
Yeah mate, I believe they work extremely well.
The only downside I have found is that when the Xy is wet, and whilst driving, it tends to randomly spray water on the outside edgwes of the windscreen. It used to annoy me through the intermittent use od the wipers but I got used to it.
I haven't taken mine off since I brought the car. I squash the sponge in behind it to clean behind there.
Nissan didn't put any protective film on my bonnet either, I used stick on clear bumpers that they use behind drawers in kitchens to protect the paint.

Re: Bonnet Protector T31
I also believe the bonnet protector is important and didn't find any difficulty cleaning behind it. The good thing is that it doesn't trap any leaves behind it as well, even if one or two gets in there it will just get blown when you start driving the car and will escape from the sides.
I also believe that the dealers are too lazy to use the supplied clear PVC patches when fitting these bonnet protectors as I saw these patches on the ground at the dealer's workshop.
