Nose Mask for R56 MCS?

Does anyone know if they make a nose mask for the R56 MCS? Wife wants some kind of protection on the front on road trips, not sure that she wants to do an actual clear bra because she might want to change out her stripes, and if she did that, the clear bra would also have to be replaced.

Just looking for some options.

Your/her reasoning makes sense. Regular bras seem to cause other problems so most folks opt for a clear bra....stripes generally go over the bra. If road trips are infrequent some have used blue painter's masking tape to make a bra of their own...that's pretty cheap but a good bit of hassle.

Most places that we have talked to for stripes don't want to do stripes over the clear bra. I know for a fact that there is occassion that when the stripes are being installed, they sometimes have to rip them off and start over because they got something out of line. (Happened when I had my stripes put on - 3rd time was a charm, and the person doing it is well known and respected in the vinyl world amongst the MINI community)

Had I had a clear bar on mine, the bra might have come off with the stripes when they were yanked off.

Being very active in our local club here, we do go on quite a few road trips, so we wanted to look into some type of protection for the front end, if only for the road trips.

If we end up going to nose mask route, it would only be used for road trips and would be stored for normal daily driving, as her commute to work is only about 4 miles each way to work.
