I got a black one for my True Blue. My dogs' toenails were wreaking havoc on the top of the bumper. I had it refinished by a body shop. They were taking out a ding left on the lower part of the bumper by a lying Benz driver, so they took the scratches out of the top for me at the same time (separate invoice for the extra work, of course).
I figured it would be silly not to protect it at that point, so I got the NGP guard. The fit is perfect, installation is absurdly easy, and it looks like the car was ordered with the guard. I could not be happier. Plus, it's cheaper now than when it was first available.

I'm having the same issue right now. I got mine from NGPRacing.com. I contacted them and they are working on getting me a new tape kit. They said it was rare for this to happen and that it is usually user error when installing but I follwed the directions to the t. I wonder if more people bring this up, they will notice it is a manufacturing defect.

Not sure whether this is in the instructions, but it may help to prepare the bumper area receiving the tape with a little #3 Machine Polish to remove wax and debris. Prior to peeling off the top tape strip and applying the bumper guard, hit the tape and the immediate area with a hair dryer set to high. Wait an hour, peel off the top tape, then apply the bumper guard. This is probably in the instructions already so I apologize in advance.

They send a solution to clean the area of the bumper with to clean off wax and residue. But they say to clean the area first then use the solution to clean off the wax and residue. The tape is already attached to the bumper guard so all you have to do is peel off the strip and press onto the bumper firmly and to wash it for 48 hrs. So similar except cant really do the hair dryer.

Ok. I'm flying a bit blind here. I think it might still be worth it to use compound polish (machine polish #3) on the bumper where the tape strips adhere; the provided solution might not get all the wax & imbedded particulates. Also, try heating the bumper locations and the tape strips attached to the bumper guard before applying the guard.

nope, Im not confused or mistaken. There definetely was an OEM CM rear bumper protector available.
limited or discontinued, quite possible. But I was able to select it when I built my CM 3 mos ago.
Maybe I have it save in a PDF build somewhere, most I tossed after receipt of my CM tho.

I went to the dealership to get the part. He checked it out and said that the part number should be specific to the countryman. I asked to see what it looked like installed. When we dry fitted it to my mini it was the same as the part that goes on regular mini's. It's was not full sized and left a couple of inches of space on each side. Thus I searched and found this thread. Apparently they don't make one specific to the countryman but they allow you to add the original mini bumper cover. If I didn't have the dealer place it on a regular mini as well I might not have known.
