I don't have sensors. I ordered the "no sensors" precut film and installed (as shown). XPEL offers the film already cut for sensors, for those needing that. I was responding to the fact that Aesthetic Creation does not yet offer film precut with the sensor holes. Just offering another option.

Sealy:
Did you get your protector or order confirmation yet? After some use it seems like a more-and-more useful addition.

 

Placed the order, got my confirmation. Also got the caveat emptor that it would be a couple of months before I see it. To be honest, until your post, I had forgotten about it. It's kinda like MINI Connect - it'll be here when it gets here and there ain't no reason to get anxious in the meanwhile.

 

Order for the bumper guard placed, standing by.

 

Placed my order as well...got confirmation.
Not sure of delivery as they are trying to get
sufficient quantity to reduce shipping costs.

 

I emailed them to make sure fit with backup sensor and they say they can not confirm fit. I want one but I'll wait until I know it fits.

 

Way back at the beginning of this post, there are links and pictures that show it installed on a back-em-up bumper. No guarentee, but a good indication.

Sealy - Who's got other things he's waiting for.

 

Yeah, they cover that in their tiny type... I wonder how many orders they have queued up...?

"Please note! - Most RGM RearGuards are sold on a special bulk-order basis. This means that single orders will be held until enough have been accumulated as to make a large order from the UK, to consolidate shipping costs. Estimated time to turn around is 6-8 weeks. Expedited shipping is available for urgent orders, please contact us at info@ngpracing.com or call 410.994.0000 for pricing."

 

The photo on NGP Racing's website shows a Countryman with backup sensors and the Rearguard installed...

 

Hi, i have buy this on ebay

and this is my Countryman

 

Any suggestions on how I can get one of these Rearguards shipped to Vancouver, BC for a reasonable amt? According to NGP, UPS will charge North of $100 for "international" ground shipping. FexEd is slightly lower at ~$85. Note this is before the traditional "brokerage" fees usually in the $60 range. For an $85 part, those rates are a show stopper.

NGP says the shipping box is over length for USPS at 12x12x50".

 

Any friends just over the border? It would be a nice weekend trip. Other than that, I guess us Countrymen owners are just going to have to be patient while we wait for after-market to catch up to a new vehicle.

In related news - I got an e-mail from NGP. They still don't have enough orders - but they expect to put their order in sometime in July.

 

pics of the Aesthetic Creations, please? anyone else?

 

Those that ordered from NGP... Did you ever get those rear guard protectors?

 

I have the CM4 but no previously ordered rear guard protector yet...

 

Thanks ghamma, they must be waiting for a very large pre-order!
I think I'll go to guys who did my 3m protection and see if they can cut me one as my rear bumper lid is starting to show wear.

 

I just checked my communications and found on July 20 NGP was about to put their order into RGM and thought they might have the bumper guard delivered in August. I'll pulse them again.

 

Phone call today from NGP - they expect to have the bumper guard to me within two weeks...

 

I can't remember what my last update was - something about early in some month. Just sent them a WTF e-mail.

 

I hope you guys work this out, 'cause I got a nasty scratch on the top of the bumper, and now I really want some kind of guard.

 

This was the e-mail from yesterday - - -

Everything is finalized with the order. They should be shipping this week from RGM. We expect them here next week. Which means you could have yours as early as next week.

Thanks,

Since there was no reasonable cost to ship this part from the US to Canada ($85 was the minimum they could find), I had given up on getting one.

I found a generic solution at the local Canadian Tire (Think "the Pep Boys of the Great White North"!)...$41 bucks. I'll try to get a pic or two up here soon.

P.S.: Seems the Nav system does not have any Canadian Tire store in the database...LAME!

That looks very good. Thanks for taking some great photos to show us this solution.
