So I'm taking a long road trip soon and looking to get some advice on what and who offers the best bra for the R56S. Any help out there? I'm not looking to get the 3M Clearbra. Just the regular black vinyl kind. Any replies are greatly appreciated.

 

The only decent bra is Colgan. The MINI version is not even close to the quality of Colgan. If you fit is correctly, which is not hard, you will not have any paint damage.
Nothing else comes close. I have one on my R53 MCS and it makes a very big difference.

 

Some have mentioned that if you put a bra over stripes, water can get in along the edge of the stripe and cause problems. Something to consider.

 

Visible bra's cause scratches with just the slightest bit of dust, and even then that's not needed for it to do harm any movement from person in a parking lot a bump of a tire tread etc will hurt the paint....if it's a once in a while type deal...blue painters tape, if it's a regular thing go with the (strapless) invisible bra...it'll protect you better, (which will support your piece of mind)
