I'm looking into getting one of the Invisa-Shield type products to protect the front end of my MCS.

Has anyone in the Toronto area had experience with a local installer? Recommendations? Warnings? Prices? The couple of sites I've been to (from those listed in the FAQ) have only listed US distributors/installers.

CW, try MINI Woodbridge. I saw one pepper white MC with clear bra installed in the showroom. The service manager told me that they have 3M people up to do the installation. The cost is C$300-C$400 parts & labor (can't remember exactly how much). Please note that is only for the bonnet, it doesn't include the headlamp cover, bumper, side mirror protection. Give them a call and see how much they charge if you want the full protection...

Thanks for the pointer. The bonnet protection is my number one concern anyway; and $300-$400 fits my budget nicely.

Update:

I took Ronster's advice to the next step and contacted MiniOakville, where I purchased the car. The price is the same league, so it looks like I'll be setting up something though that location.

Thanks again.

Try shops that tint windows. They use 3M film, which essentially is all that a clear bra is. Both Stonguard and Invincashield are 3M products. I had my MCS done for $175, which included mirror caps as well as the headlights and fogs.
