Parking Protection?

I am living in the city and concerned about protecting my MINI from damage caused by numbskulls parking close to me or hitting my bumpers when parallel parking.

Can anyone suggest accessories that would protect my new baby?

It's already got some bumpers on the door edges, but I'm thinking something that would protect the front and rear.

Thanks!

If you're parking in huge US malls then park in the farthest corners of the parking lot and that goes some way to mitigating the risk, that said, when you do that you'll come back and find another car right next to yours!

The best way is to drive something no one else wants to park next to like a builders Tranny van.

The OP is from the USA. He might think a tranny van is something else entirely.
