    Make sure the lower splitter is in the box. Mine wasn't, had to make a call to get it. Wasn't from ECS though.

    That part is sold separately. But I can reuse that and the grille off the GP. Just need the cover.

    Working on swapping door speakers (moving my HK speakers into the GP doors, now on Blimey). Discovered that the HK door harness is different than the stock audio harness. Not trivial to R&R the harnesses, but must be done. Might as well swap mirror bodies while I'm at it (Blimey's are heated).

    This has "caption this" written all over it. I'll start:

    "If there's something strange, in your neighborhood,"

    "Who you gonna call?"

    "Ghostbusters!!!!"

    I ain't afraid of no ghost....

    Damn.....that is going to be a head turner. You should be proud!


    I have a set of those horns on my work bench, any hints on the install of them?

    What are the problems with using the existing harness? Besides cutting into it.....

    Trim clips? MINI must be in short supply of them after me last month! :p

    GPR769 Sticker looks great, but I would move it to the body after paint. ;)

    The only rational place for it on the body would be the roof... there will be something similar there, eventually.

    Yeah, I had thought of that spot, also. And may have one cut in a different color to try that, after the final paint is dry.

    But I'm hoping to do an embroidered patch on the roof that matches the original GP style and position.

    PM sent. They're not a sponsor of MA, so I prefer to not promote them here.

    Dick--it's a good time to buy a boatload of retainers and clips, since the shipping is almost as much as the clips...

    With my discount, and no shipping charges at MOL, I'm pretty sure I can get stuff like that any time I want. ;) The 100 mile round trip drive, just gives me something to look foreword to.

    Blimey is lookin GREAT Paul! Cant wait to see it in a couple weeks. :)
