I have never seen that stuff out here nor have I talked to anyone out here that wanted it. I guess I might get it if I lived back there. It looks like the did a magnificent installation job. I know how tricky that can be as I just spent a day giving LTZMTOR new stripes. I think this is a bigger issue for you Snowsville folk.

I will have mine done. That’s true, natch, but the paint will chip if hit, and that area is low. I will have mine done.

Just around it. Is that right? There doesn’t seem to be any protection at all on the brake cooling duct (non-fog light) area. Just around it. Is that right?

This work on GPMINI was a very special deal, hand cut from I believe 3M material.

What product was installed? Did they use 3M or VentureShield? How did the foglight area turn out? Can you do a close-up of that? I know ArmorGlove/ArmorShield/Venture Shield do have a template now. But, I feel it could be improved to offer more coverage. Just looking for feedback, etc....most especially for my GP. So, looks nice, Ian! What product was installed?

It doesn't seem to be easily visible on the thunder blue, except from the extreme side angle pic. I just ordered some space blue touch up paint today, our new mini has a big chip in the front after less than a week! The clear bra is your only defense. It turned out great, Ian.

Not sure if it was the same but we both decided to take it off... we felt it looked odd.
