comments ? I dont know what I should do regarding the stripes and film...

Also if you can tell me did the egg come first, or the chicken....

Hmmm...
Your dealer has exactly the same concern as mine.

Sorry but from an engineer's point of view it's definitely more logical to have the stripes over the bra.

The stripes don't need any protection. I say go with the stripes over bra, I know thats exactly what I would do in the future.
