There are several out there, I need to figure this out in a hurry. I have to try to schedule this when I pick up my car out of state.

The three I am looking at right now are:

Invinca-shield
Stoneguard
Clear Bra

Anyone with thoughts?

The one that offers the most coverage and fewest seams is the best ... but often the most expensive.

Is the installer giving you a choice of which kit?

off the list. It has no seam for the front of the Cooper, not sure about the S. I have an Invinca-Shield on my Cooper. I believe that they all use the same 3M film. So it comes down to the quality and experience of the installer.

I also have an Invinca-Shield on my Cooper.
I'll buy another one when I get my S.

My MCS has invinca-shield. I had it professionally applied. If they all are 3M's product, you might be interested to know that invinca-shield has treated me well service-wise. The installer noted some black spots in one of the sections, and invinca-shield sent me out a replacement section with no questions asked.

My own personal opinion is that "any clear bra is a good bra." Sounds like a campaign slogan.

Thanks for the responses guys. Due to lack of time and the availablity of one installer I have decided to go with Invinca-Shield.

Stongard's pattern looks better but they don't have a full time installer out where I am going so I had to make a decision.

I can't wait to get my Mini! Less than 7 days till I drive it!

Any update on how the clear bra lasts? Any discolor on the car? the bra turning yellow?

Colorado S Hows your Stonguard holding up?

Humourl3ss · Dec 31st, 2002, 10:38 AM

I have StoneGuard. Though it's only been on for a month, I have no complaints about it, other than the expense ($400 Canadian for the bonnet only).

the best clear bra is the one that is installed correctly for what you are will pay for it. I say this because, as stated before, they all use the same 3M film. So it comes down to how good the installer is.

I had mine professionally installed by a guy that does all sorts of fancy-schmancy cars (AND I let him do another MCS before he got to mine). I've been very pleased with it since August and 10,000 miles!
Keep on keepin' on!

I would say Rockblocker.com. They have a kit for the Cooper S for $180.00 dollars. When you compare them to the other big companies that is half the price. Their coverage is just as good without the price. They are new so that made be why they have such cheap prices.

A good installer is key for a proper install. The hood can be tricky I hear. I talked an installer they told me that many of them are installing anybody's kit because more and more customers are becoming aware of the product and buying it themselvess and wanting someone to install them.
