Does this actually work?

Where can one get this?
Photo borrowed from MINIROX. (let me know if its uncool and I'll take off the photo) thx

 

You can get them here: http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...17&SortOrder=1

I guess they would work if you experience paint pitting in that area.

 

You could also get cear bra cut to size for that area! I did that for the rear deck area.

From my experience doing several laps at the local dirt track (lapped within 2 seconds of race time) the plastic arches get beat up, so why bother.

 

outmotoring has them on their site as well..

 

I have them as much for the visual "line" that they impart to that part of the car - makes it look a little more curved and less square down there. I am sure they are giving some protection as well...

I am somewhat ambivalent about the covers. I ordered the magnetic ones when I placed the order for the car. I really can't say whether they have protected the car from rock impacts or not. If I had it to do again, I probably would have considered the clear urethane (clear bra and the like) as an alternative.

 

55k miles on my 2003 MCS. Not a single rock chip in the area without any protection.

 

I have the magnetic ones on my car, just like in the picture. I am not sure how much they protect, I just wanted them for the style.

 

Ihave been running them for a while, and the only pain is having to remove them to wash the car. Otherwise, I think they add a little "uniqueness" to my DS/B (read ubiquitous) MCS.




cheers,

 

honestly, I have no scratches or chips around that area...
but there were knicks on my aero sideskirts near the rear
wheel arch. so I made my own clearbra out of the
excess I had from the front bumper kit and that took
care of that.

 

Standard MINI part. Order from Classic or your local MINI dealer.

I too asked about those when first buying because I thought they had that "cool" 930 Turbo look but my MA said to NOT buy them. They dont do anything and could scratch the paint.
