Best Clear Bra company?

I really want to get a clearbra to protect my aero front bumper before I install it. Is it best to go with the Mini dealership? Is the 3M stuff on eBay good? Or is there another company all together that I should go with?

The last thing I want is to have a Clear Bra I saw on the previous generation 5 series. It was white and the clearbra had yellowed REALLY bad. That's unacceptable.

Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks in advance

My guy in Denver uses VentureTape. Looks like it was painted on my GP! Lifetime warranty. He tells me it is even better than 3M and is more forgiving.

I use X-pel

Their web site is here: http://www.xpel.com/

Great stuff, guaranteed against yellowing, bubbling, or cracking for five years from date of purchase, and believe me, you don't want any protective film on your car for more than five years. It'll take a pretty good beating from road debris, insects, and pedistrians.

The installers came 125 miles to my home and installed it on my Nissan X-Terra the day before I shipped it to Germany. I've been so impressed with its durability over the past 2 years of Autobahn driving that I mail ordered a kit for the new Mini. I had a local body shop install it and they botched up the piece that went across the hood. I called X-pel and they had a new piece to me within the week...free! Top notch quality and fit with outstanding customer support.
