Protect that front end
So I have the opportunity to get a new bumper for free. It's a long story but I'm happy I'm getting a new one; now no front plates.
In the process of painting the new front bumper the shop said that they're able to paint the reflectors. I hope it comes out okay. Now that I'm getting a new front bumper what do you suggest to protect it, just a clear bra? - If so where in southern california & what's a good price? Thanks

Don't get the reflectors painted....... you can buy a painted set from IND for only $75.00. Have the shop fill the holes in the bumper and what you will have is a bumper that is exactly the same as a eurobumper but for a lot less. I am sure the labour to fill the holes in the bumper will not be more than a few hundred bucks. It's a no brainer really!!
As for protection, premier protective films are the best. They quoted me $490 for a 2-pc pre-cut front bumper wrap or $675 for a 1-pc custom wrap on the front bumper. |

I have just used Premier for my clear bra and tint, and they delivered superb service and quality work! They've done on numerous Ms there, and they really see from the customers perspective. The price paid for itself, seriously.
Give them a call to schedule or for consultation. They will go through all the details with you. As far as for the clear bra, I cannot comment much about it because it is literally invisible to me.... |

If you do the clear bra do the entire hood, dont do half you can see the were the line stops.
Im contemplating the same thing for my new M. I want to clear bra the entire hood, front bumper and front fenders. |

Premier is the way to go. You'll need to wait for the paint to fully cure (likely between 45-90 days), and then I'd recommend talking to a good detailer in your area (If you're in SoCal hit up Eric from Envious or Joe from Superior) to have the paint perfectly polished, followed by the paint protection film installation.

My goto place is Premier like many other members here. Just got into an accident and had the entire front end re-done. Good thing is my insurance covered it. Only had to pay my $250 deductible. My white M car is in their gallery right below the M6 - http://premiermobilegroup.com/gallery_bmw.shtml
