Default Slant Nose Bra ?

Would anyone out there in Renn land know if there is a manufacturer of a Bra for a Slant Nose ? I would like to protect it from all those future nasty rock chips on those Canadian roads ??

Usually NLA. However, you maybe able to locate used one at some swap meets.

My slantnose came with one, I'll dig it out to see what company makes it. I've never had it out of the box but the previous owner used it when going on long travels. I do know that it doesn't allow for the headlights to come up when on though.

update.... company info.

If it's a non-factory slantnose, the Colgan bra may fit.
Otherwise, you may be out of luck. Trust me, the Colgan will not fit.......wanna buy mine?

Hey WERK-I, that sounds like a possibility. I have contacted Colgan already and have placed an order. But they don't have one in stock and it will take them 4-5 weeks to make one. This is plenty of time to cancel the order if I decide to do so. How much $$ would you want for yours and would you have a picture of it either on your Beatiful car or up close ot it for visual reference?, Cheers, Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Well, there's the rub. The Colgan bra won't fit well enough to take photos of it on the car.

But, here are photos of the bra laying on the floor.......geez, I wish I was referring to the other kind of bra!


The area of the car where the bra is too narrow is where the valance meets the fender and the flair begins to "flair" out from there. The bra has cutouts for the fog lamps and oil cooler as shown on my car on the right. If the car you have has a Ruf style front valance as shown on the car on the left, it definitely won't fit. The bra has been stored indoors since I got it in its box.

I'll sell the bra $40+shipping from Appleton, Wisconsin.

Guys, my bra fits great but as you say with the valance you have on your cars it may not. I don't have a valance like yours, just factory fogs sticking out. olsonjo, if you order it you should specify that factor.... just a thought, they may have both.

Jeff, you shoulda sent Dave a private message, click his username on the left and send him a message. You might want to edit your previous post and remove personal information from it including your email address.

Best wishes,
Nathan.
