yes mate thats it.so what is it for/do?

Updated with better pic, it's a protective cover to stop road rash.

The north americans and canadian's use them extensively due to the massive amount of gritting they do in the winter months.

Depends how much you value your bumper and bonnet paintwork and how much winter motorway driving you do..

If you keep them on too long without taking them off to clean underneath you run the risk of trapping dirt and grit underneath and doing more damage than you're trying to prevent!

Surely if you're gonna drive around with a 'bra' on your bonnet you're implying that your car is a giant tit.
