1 More Question About Clear Bras

Okay, I lied. There are two questions. First, I had a new one installed. (stratches from the last one removed, etc.) There's a tiny bump on the hood scoop. Whatever it is, it's really hard. If something really hard is under the bra, can it scratch or indent the paint. (especially since I'm going to be waxing it...a lot) If it won't harm the paint, it doesn't bother me, because it's really hard to see. Secondly, this bra was ordered, and it leaves quite a bit of the bumper unprotected. (especially the area around the fog lights and a 2-inch strip on either side of the bumper.) Nearly the entire front of the bonnet is covered, so I'm confused as to why they left either side of the bumper unprotected. Does it not get as many dings? Anyone else have this issue?

Okay, I lied again, there's one more. If MINIs have bonnets, then why do we still call the hole that supplies air to the supercharger a "hood scoop." Shouldn't it be called a "bonnet scoop?"

1. Depends on wat the heck's under there. imho, just leave it alone, you can't pull it up now.

2. Which bra did you get? Cause my Xpel bra covers my aerobumper almost
completely (less the black arches). the biggest hits were near the fog
lamp area down low. not too many up high. i don't use a clearbra on the
bonnet.

3. "bonnet scoop" sounds too pansy, that's why (?)
