What does instruction #12 mean?

Is that thing an engine?

No driving for 48 hours? No putting engines in the boot for 48 hours?

Looks like #12 is a car wash.

Bought one a few weeks ago for my Space Blue MCS. This is the first place my dogs would step, so it works perfect. The strip also has a slight texture to it, sorta like grip tape.

So is this essentially just applied like a decal?

So, do you have to apply it using a mirror or is there really a model with the exhaust tip on the left and the wiper on the right?

It’s applied just like a clear bra: http://media.xpel.com/video/bumper.wmv

Had one since last August (05), Looks great on an all yellow MINI and offers functional protection.

I think that the machine in #12 is a pasta roller!

No lasagna for 2 days!

I think they want you to stay out of the carwash for 48 hours. (step 12)

So where does one get the kit? Anyone have the MINI part number?

The retrofit kit numbers are in the PDF. You can get both the black and the clear kit at any MINI dealers. However you may want to try one of the four dealers that advertise on MotoringFile as you’re likely to get an MF related discount!

I believe #12 would be a car wash.
