Rear Bumper Scuff Protector?
I'm interested in the Outmotoring rear bumper scuff protector. Has anyone applied one? To those of you that use the rear door, do you find you have scratches in the well on the top of the rear bumper?
Rear Bumper Scuff Protector $39.95

I just put one on my 2003 MC. Got it from my dealer for $40 - but Morristown MINI has it for $28 (+ ship) on its Ebay sales. Installation was easy - follow the instructions - you need to ask for them.
Funny thing is this is the same piece that is used for a Suzuki Verona wagon protector with different logo - Suzuki version is $42!

I just picked one up at my dealership. I noticed it didn't come with instructions so I got it at motoringfile.com But according to the instructions, I'm missing a piece. From the diagram, it looks like a alcohol cleaning pad. If that's the case then I guess it's no biggie. I just have to mix up a 2 to 1 solution.

I just put the "scuff pad" on two days ago... a simple "install" although I didn't get an alcohol pad either. However, now that it's on there, I'm not so sure I like the look (therefore, also interested in the removal process).
I ordered/installed it because my previous MINI acquired 3 scratches from using it like a cargo van. (go figure).
Mine doesn't feel like vinyl or rubber, but more like the grip-tape used on skate board decks... (oh- and a MINI Logo ) A clear one would be nice...

Moss Mini offers one in chromed stainless for $60. It's held on with 3M tape. It's nice and shines up well, but still scratches. I have one on my Cooper.
I have the OutMotoring one on my S. It looks ok, but is pretty lightweight...more like heavy duty shelf paper than a real protector. And, just cuz it has a MINI emblem doesn't really justify the price [$40], when you can go to any discount store for something just as thick...and for a lot less.

Has anyone removed one of these? (In case I change my mind) Was it hard?

I ordered one with my 05 MCS and it was not dealer installed because the car arrived before the bumper protector and I live 450 miles from the dealer. Mine, too, said it was a Suzuki part. And mine, too, was paper-thin and didn't look as if it would protect anything. I didn't use it.
I expected something like the thick, clear material used to protect headlights. If there was something like that in black it would be great.
Or, how about outdoor carpeting? Astroturf?
