Rear bumper guard

After searching found a place in the US that sells them, $99 . Now I can load and unload without worrying about bumper

Looks great and fit well - I wish I had that for my Clubman. Do you have a link to the vendor.

Only us supplier I could find, others in UK wanted $60-100 shipping alone. They have a CF look and brushed alum for $20 more, the black matches the other trim on car.

If you know of a place that does the 3m clear bras, they cut a nice piece for my rear bumper and it doesn't show at all
Full protection and if I remember correctly, 120.00
Just throwing that out there

Clear bras for the rear bumper is not at bad idea - Thanks BubbaJCW.

Aloha rckrz1,

My wife backed the MINI Clubman into a rock wall. The wall left most of the rock imprint on the upper bumper area that a bumper cover you show in the picture may cover. Are you happy with the product so far? How does the bumper cover attach? Glue, screws... Does the bumper cover fit into the gap between the upper and lower bumper. Any pictures you can share with the barn doors open.

Thank you for any info you can provide, it may save me $1k.

What about black Plastidip? Probably the cheapest option. I'm thinking of doing it on my wife's car. You could glossify it to match the factory finish a bit better.

3m double sided tape , make sure you line it up right , first time I put it to high and the doors rubbed it, I removed it and put on new tape and the doors cleared and works well.

Excuse the dirt and dust , I work in construction zone and the back of a clubbie has a serious low pressure area.

You can get the MINI OEM clear shield for less that $40. I installed mine last winter and it still looks great.

Mahalo (thank you)! Exactly what I wanted to see and know!

What dirt? I didn't see any... :-) I'd take the minimal amount of dirt in your boot any day over the bumper kiss my wife accomplished with a rock wall...

Aloha!

Mahalo means "trash" don't it ? I saw it on every trash can , I lived in Kailua from 1985 to 1988 , were I spent many friday nights at Campbell Industrial park at the 1/4 mile with my Z28.
