Forgive me: What's "FRP"?

it's not fiberglass, it's fiber reinforced plastic. similar, but tends to be a little bit more forgiving when damaged since it's more flexible.

Dear quibicstudio: I wish someone in Taiwan would make and offer a simple rear bumper protector like this one for the KIA Soul. There are none out there that are made specifically for the Countryman. http://www.ebay.com/itm/160688812859

FRP good, ABS plastic better, Carbon Fiber best. But a reasonable cost is priceless

Sweet! Thanks for the pics. Looks good all around. How big of an exhaust tip will the rear spoiler take?

My bad, but personally not a fan of anything with fiberglass in it, the company QC have to be pretty good. ABS plastic would be my first choice.

good luck.
