    Ok I don't think one foot is a "decent gap between us". But its cool that you two took a road trip together. You know what they say "a couple that Minis together stays together"! :D

    I had a Clear Bra installed on my R50 and on my MCS bonnet and front bumpers. You can either have to dealer do it for megamoney or places that do auto/truck stuff usually have that film, too, for a lot less. The Clear Bra [or similar] not only reduces the bug splatter and makes it easier to clean off, but it also protects from stone chips [the MINI is a stone chip magnet].

    The Clubman has a clear bra but the Coupe does not. Actually the clear bra is so worn it's starting to curl. I'll need to remove it when I get some free time. Or go motoring instead...

    I get a lot less bug crap and road grime on the front of my Coupe than by other MINI I've owned. Could be the design, could be the clear bra.....a $50,000 question. One things for certain, I get a heck of a lot less stone chips on the front during the Donut Run than anyone else [emoji12]
