Has anyone ordered this bumper protector?

It's available in the Bavarian auto catalog.
Has anyone seen this installed?

RGM rear guard protector for the clubman.

I sent them a message last month to that Ebay seller and they wouldn't ship to the US.
I think I found the same part at:

Ill probably order one after the holidays.

Oh man, I want that. The 09 R55 I just bought has two scratches. One of them is on the top of the bumper. This would cover the scratch, match the silver paint color, and protect from further damage. Somebody find a way for me to buy one...

Yes, a while ago when there was an option to ship it to North America.
Now, I ordered it again for my JCW Aero bumper (about to be mounted soon) and I ordered it from

http://www.ngpracing.com

Item details: RBP103-RGM Rearguard for Mini Clubman


They are authorized seller for UK seller...
Price is $86 and change plus shipping...

BTW, it is a nice product, with good finish and fit

Ugh, $100 seems steep. Especially this time of year and since I just bought the car Im spending tons of money on accessories anyway... back burner idea. Thanks for the info.
