Substitute rear bumper protection strip
Until Mini decides to release their own part, I found a just about perfect substitute for a rear bumper top protection strip. Some folks have used clear bra material, and I suppose if you can make your own as well; this is ready-made for this use.
The part for the 06-11 Honda Civic sedan (PN 08P48 SNA 101), and at least on my F55, it's a perfect fit. I just happened to have some from different Hondas sitting around, and lucked out.
Photo also happens to show a MkI Austin 'Cooper' badge I also added. It's nearly identical in size to the original letters. Just need to cut off the pins from the back and add double-sided trim tape.

Well thanks for the suggestion and pic. Totally works!
PS -Although at over $80 Canadian for a sticky strip on Amazon, think I may just take extra care
