Clear bra on Astro Black

I'm not sure if there are pics anywhere else... I've looked some... I would like to see pics of a clear bra on an Astro Black mini if anyone has one! Not sure if you'd be able to see it on this color more than others. Help!

CLEAR and you want to see it ? If they had a clear bra done correctly and not a kit you would have to look real close to see it. This would mean that they had the grill and headlight removed for installation.Most will cut around the headlights and grill area. On a dark colored paint the light will catch the edges and you can see that there is a clear cover on the hood. Or any other covered area. I did this on my MINI and covered the complete hood after I newly repainted it. I have not had anyone be able to tell that it is on there. I have a Dark Silver Mini. I highly recommend it and wish I had done it when I bought my Mini new. The front can take a beating.

Here's mine (the clearbra is *almost* invisible)



this one is distorted with Photoshop so you can see where the clearbra is:




my advice? do it, you will be happy.

I didn't know you could have it cover the entire bonnet. Thank you!

I had clear installed on my bonnet, front bumper, head lights, door edges, door cups, and on the roofline just above my windshield. You have to look at the car at certain angles to see the clear - matter of fact, people have come up to my AB saying they didn't even know there was clear on it.

The photoshopped pic that Clag posted shows the clear "line" pretty clearly. You can see it as it follows the top of the scoop and out towards each light.

Pic of my roof just above the windshield...The clear is not visible until you change angles.


ditto on doing it - you'll be happy.
