You are so right, this is my only regret with the car, only because I had no idea what a clear bra was when I first bought the Z.

As soon as the new bumper/fenders are installed I am either getting a 3M wrap or Clear Bra.

She told me she was in a rush and didn't see the Z parked right behind her, and in her partial defense, about a week ago her backup warning signal stopped working and is due for servicing next week. (Range Rovers are one of the most overpriced, least reliable POS vehicles on the road, this is our 2nd new RR and I could make a list 3 pages long of all the problems)

Anyhow I walked out to the driveway expecting to see the front end ruined, and damn if the front plate didn't save most of the damage.

Now my girlfriend is amazing, and already told me she was getting me the Carbon Signal Raptor Front Bumper for my Birthday and has already paid for the deposit weeks ago.

I'm not that upset, just a little bummed out that for the next 2 months of summer my front bumper will look scratched up badly until the new bumper arrives. I am pretty relieved, because I think this is about as good of an outcome as can happen when a Range Rover backs up hard into a Z.

So what if rear park sensors are not working? Why don't lazy people LOOK to ensure it is safe to reverse???!!

While I agree, people do get used to backing up without looking when they have sensors, it's a bad habit, but one that comes from years of relying on backup cameras and sensors.

In this case it just shows what happens when you get complacent and stop using your mirrors and making sure.
