Dannyb Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Each stonegaurd comes with three clips. Take off the crome surround or on the mk4 & 1500 the cowl. And these clips go under the three scres that hold the headlight unit. replace the surround and you have the three clips pocking through. These wil hold the stone guard. You may have to bend them a bit. easy to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velocita Rosso Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 The stone guards are OK ,only if the stones are bigger than 1euro piece,anything smaller will just penetrate the mesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dannyb Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Go for the stainless steel ones. I found the chrome ones go rusty faily quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 These would have been handy on the RBR as I smashed a light.The stone went straight through and smashed the bulb too!The hole in the light is huge and the stone inside is pretty big so they would have saved me.Fortunately Tim Hunt kindly loaned me a spare light unit saving me from having to tape a torch on my bonnet ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the chrome ones go rusty faily quickThat's what happened to the ones I installed back in the 1980s. Also, the clips get rusty & fatigue-y & break-off-y.
