I've been expecting that GP2 rear diffuser. The tail lights and spoiler are an unexpected bonus. Very nice!

The priciest single mod I've ever made to a MINI...

Very nice. Matches the rest of your CF interior and exterior.
I have painted my calipers with G2 Blue paint and just added some used Checker mirror caps today. Pictures to come when i get them taken and will post then.

Nice! Those blue calipers are sweet and blend well with your front quarter panels.
I'm sure since the time of departure of your previous MINI you've been suffering from "checker withdrawal." It was only a matter of time...

Probably comparable to everyone else who brings him business and $$ on a regular recurring basis... 
Kind of a repeat from another post, but I install the H-sport RSB & NM RSe05 w/Michelin PSS over the weekend. The RSB was not as bad to install as some have alluded to. It could be the fact I had a hoist to work with instead of Jack and stands, but pretty easy and fun to do

Sorry Denny, I just had to have those LED puddle lights. Installed them last night.
As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I hope you're flattered!

Not my pic, but this is what it looks like on the ground under the door...
Ordered from WMW. Fits any 2nd Gen MINI. Installation takes all of one minute. Pop out the old and plug in the new.
Denny was showing off his units last week in Milwaukee and naturally I just couldn't resist.
