I believe #12 would be a car wash.

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

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

No lasagna for 2 days!

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

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?

So is this essentially just applied like a decal?

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.

Looks like #12 is a car wash.

What does instruction #12 mean?

Is that thing an engine?

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