naefuse Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 I am looking for a bonnet guard for my Edge, I had one on my Kuga Sport and if anyone has one would like to see how it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen1988 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 There are some genuine Ford ones on www.ebay.com but postage costs more than the actual item from America What about having paint protection film applied to bonnet and bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naefuse Posted July 22, 2017 Author Share Posted July 22, 2017 Cheers, have seen the ones in USA and postage costs, I prefer the look of the guards so will keep searching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge of Reason Posted July 22, 2017 Share Posted July 22, 2017 Is this the thing that looks like your car is wearing a nose bra ?? If so, what is the point ? I've seen many cars with them. They protect the paint so the person you sell the car to gets unblemished paint but you can't even see it yourself. They strike me as a bit odd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naefuse Posted July 23, 2017 Author Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hi, no the bonnet bra covers a large area of the bonnet, what I'm looking for is made from the same stuff as the wind deflectors on side windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daven2505 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I lived in Boston until last year and had an 2015 Explorer sport which for some reason Ford in their strange marketing don't bring across to Europe and it is a great 7 seater SUV. It's RRS/Grand Cherokee size so it is ok for British/Euro roads. I'm sure there is a market for non premium SUV for a little more money than the Edge. Anyway back to my reason for posting. I have an Edge sport in U.K as I'm over in Mass every few months so I've brought some Ford genuine accessories back which are Hood protector, AWD badge, window deflectors and rear bumper protector. Again why Ford don't sell in U.K/ Europe is beyond me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen1988 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Looks very smart on a black car, not too sure it would work that well on a white one. Just out of interest how do you ship the larger parts back or do you put it in the hold of the plane? I head out to Maine with work twice a year and shipped a roof rack back for my Edge but some shipping costs were extortionate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daven2505 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hi, I'm usally at the front of the plane and Virgin allow 3 x32kg bag allowance so when I have brought these very light items back I reduce the packaging and they go as one of my bags in the hold as oversized baggage FOC. Framingham Ford on RT9 give me a good discount so if you are in Boston area try them out. If only UK Ford dealers were like the US dealers who are superb.

Owen1988 Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Thanks for that info. Much appreciated. We usually fly BA into Logan and drive up. Might have to give Virgin a go next time too. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naefuse Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 The bonnet guard looks great, as you say why can't Ford uk get these things here. The black looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilRS Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 The one on the picture looks great. The flappy leather ones however, in my opinion look ridiculous. Actually think the one in the picture would look even better on a non black car- especially white or silver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daven2505 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 You guys might want to try Quirk Ford in Quincy, about 6 miles outside of Boston ( link below) They have a great online shop and all parts are 10% off. They do ship to UK because when I was last in they said they are sending loads of Mustang parts to owners in uk. The other dealer is Framingham Ford and they match Quirks price but I don't think they post out of Continental US. http://www.quirkparts.com/ford/edge/vft4z16c900a/2016-year/sport-trim/2-7l-v6-gas-engine/exterior-cat/protection-scat/?part_name=air-deflector-by-lund-aeroskin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xn85 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Daven2505, What do you think of the wind deflectors? I had them on my old Kuga (Escape) and found them quite noisy... What are they like on the Edge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A bonnet guard ships for the tidy sum of $271.76!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonro2009 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Those wind deflectors look very different to the ones I'm used to seeing, the Team Heko ones. Those appear to sit 'over' the window as opposed 'inside' the window. Very tidy looking car, very subtle and stealthy.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally I would like those for my Mondeo/fusion, are they available for my car do you know?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xn85 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I think the Climair ones are what Ford dealers supply. Having had a Mondeo estate, and two Labradors, I got sick of it raining in when I opened the windows to prevent steaming up. Got a set for my Kuga (still have them in my garage) though found they suffered a lot of wind noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
