Ok so if any of you have been wondering what it would look like if you blue taped your mini this is how it will look. this is used when you dont have a clear bra on your car yet but you still want to protect it from rocks, bugs, things of that nature. i did my car (whole bonnet, and bumper) in about an hour and a half. well here you go!
well im going to Mini's in the Mountains, in copper mountain colorado, and i know how the roads are here in denver and the rocks are horrible. i just wanna save my car.
You may only have had to go 1/3 - 1/2 way up the bonnet, but a little extra protection never hurt. Sounds like this job would be too tough to do often (like more than once every three years or four years ).
well i did do it only about 2/3s the way up but it looked goofy (more goofy then it does now) so thats why i did the whole thing. the tape says that it has 14 days before it will leave any kind of residue. but if the roads are looking good then i will take it off while im up there.
its really not hard, if you were to do the whole car i would recommend using the 2" tape and not the 1". it would just make every thing much much easier!
I did the same thing on my STI when I drove from Orlando to Atlanta and back. It was durring bug season and that alone saved me a lot of time and elbow effort.
yeah the photo would look pretty sweet! i thought i was going to be the only one who did it..look forward to seeing your car! checkmate2006 are you going up on thursday?
Good job! As an alternative, there is a spray on temporary bra that can be used as well. I haven't used it, but know others who have with good results:

that made my day.
