I hesitate to use anything like a noodle to protect the car, only because there are some people out there who will see it and damage the car just out of spite.

I prefer to park far away but not attract attention.

That is very cool. Thank goodness we have crappy sedans to leave in parking lots.

I am afraid to leave the MINI anywhere some jerk can pop it with their door.
Flame if you will, but I have noticed lots of new moms in SUV's buckling their children in the back with the door open carving off the paint on adjacent cars.

You might want to suggest your wife quit her job or work out of the house! :smile:

Regards,

LOL I wish she could work out of the house. Not too many jobs to do at home as a nurse. Also she really likes the hospitol she works at. So there is no way to get her to find a different job. I've just gotta find a way to keep people off it. I'm still brainstorming.

This product may help from Minimania.. It's chrome stainless steel body side moulding. I think it looks good as well.

Teampajn...I don't know. I have tried parking way out in no mans land and had old beaters park right next to the MINI. I think some drivers of old beaters just know what drivers are doing when we park way out, and they just love to park next to us to make us sweat a little.
