Bonnet Protector Dacia Duster 2010-2017

A bonnet protector for the first-generation Dacia Duster, model years 2010-2017. The Duster genuinely gets driven on gravel, where the bonnet's leading edge collects stones thrown up by the vehicle in front.

The supplier gives UV-stabilised ABS, a piano black finish and the option to paint. It also claims the deflector reduces air drag — with no data behind it. The photo shows a Duster I with the deflector fitted, and the product with its kit.

Fitting and notes

The deflector arrives covered with a protective film — which is why it looks matt and frayed at the edges in photos. The film comes off at fitting, and only then does the true gloss show.

The product photo shows the mounting kit: six clips, six screws, washers, caps, a strip of tape and an illustrated instruction sheet.

The 2010-2017 range spans the 2013 facelift, after which the Duster got a different front end. The supplier does not split this into two part numbers — confirm your model year when ordering.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the deflector look matt in the photo?

Because it is covered with transport film. Underneath is the piano black gloss.

Can the deflector be painted to match the car?

The supplier says it can. It does not say which primer to use — that is a question for your paint shop.

Does it fit the Duster before and after the 2013 facelift?

The supplier gives a single 2010-2017 range with no split. The front of the car changed noticeably, so it is worth confirming.
