Palo Uber Anyone?

Anyone have any dealings with Palo Uber London

http://www.paloubermini.com

Their light bar and dual exhaust is intriguing, but doing searches on here, I can only find one comment mentioning their name from someone saying they are switching to their exhaust.

I have never dealt with them, but they have had a pretty cool looking Mini on ebay lately. Here is the old link.

I have the Palo Uber rear valance for dual exhausts, and when I get a chance, I'll post a pic. My new exhaust system is not from Palo Uber, but is a custom set-up. The exhaust is still being "fine tuned", because with the 3" downpipe on the header, as well as 3" pipe from the catalytic converter to the branching point for the duals with 2.5" tubes to the mufflers, the car is still too loud for the street. More on this later as the problem gets solved ...

The valance is nicely done, and has a finished look. It is my understanding that EF-1 Motorsports in Signal Hill, CA (http://www.ef1motorsports.com/) is the U.S. distributor for Palo Uber London. Also, I heard that EF-1 is developing an exhaust system to be used with the valance. A lot of R&D is going into the unit, and I believe they'll have something for cars with either a stock or modified head/header.

I just installed the lightbar and I think it is very good quality. It uses existing bolts on the frame so it is a solid mount and there is no drilling. It comes with a template to drill the holes for the lights and wires in the lower valence. I got the wiring harness for free with their May special which is normally $100. The wiring harness made it so easy. It was completly plug and play. four Hella 500's from ebay for $100 and it was done.
