Haven't found any suppliers yet. I guess the facelifted version is not as popular as I thought. Contact Colgan over the weekend and got the following response:

I'm having my aero bumper repainted soon and was thinking about not getting a clear bra. They just don't do a black car justice,however. So I thought about getting a fabric (vinyl?) type. I haven't found anyone that makes them yet. Anyone know a supplier?
 
i personally hate fabric bras. they usually cause more damage than they prevent (paint fades unevenly, dirt gets under it and causes wear/scratches, etc)
 
I've had luck with them in the past, then again I'm rather obsessive compulsive about things like that. All I wanted was an alternative to a clear bra which is growing more and more unlikely.

Try Victoria's Secret that have bras in all shapes and sizes.

I'm not a big fan of vinyl/leather bras on cars, but most of their bad rap comes from being misused. The idea was that you'd put it on a clean car for a road trip and remove it when you arrived - instead, you had people leaving them on for months, even years (there's a white 944 near me that I've never seen without the bra). That's a recipe for uneven paint fade, and definitely there's dirt and grit underneath after all that time that is going to rub the paint and scratch it.
 
Last Summer when I put my new 2007 front end on I looked into clear protector and discovered that it cost more than having it resprayed 3 times!!!

The paintshop guys laid down a couple of extra coats of clear, which tehy assured me woudl do the job and since then not a mark :) :)
