I'm torn. The Bra looks great on the Mini, but so do the strips. I was also thinking of getting the driving lamps.

I value your opinions.

I think the bra is nice. I like the idea because I can take it off at will.

Honestly, I think the bra really detracts from the looks of the car. It interferes with the lines of the hood and grille, and obscures a lot of the "chrome" that makes the MC look so nice. The stripes and driving lights, on the other hand, accentuate those things rather than hide them. I would take that route!

I used to be a big fan of the bra, and I had one on my previous car. The big problem is that you have to remove it anc clean all the accumulated junk out of it on a regular basis. I used to keep up with it very well, but then I went a month or two without cleaning it, and was rewarded with a permanent abrasion in my clear coat along the top edge of the bra. Sucked. After that, I decided to never use one again...

At this point, I plan on putting on an Invica-Shield (clear) bra for chip protection, which can also be used with stripes.

My $0.02.

I'm going to agree with chrisnl. THe more I look at it the better the lights with the strips look. Thanks.
