Now you know

Pretty much a straight fit, just need to cut the sides until it fits the Mini's shorter bumper

Other than that it should be no problem; although on the facelift R50 the middle section has that __/ \__ part in the middle, sorry don't know what it's called, so you may have to cut the part in between to fit. After, just drill and screw and it's good to go!

Here's the product. http://www.ebay.com/itm/400494964237...84.m1439.l2649

hehe.. appreciate the honesty..

this panel has better output than the nicer looking ones that don't cost a thousand dollars or more. i only have it mounted when i'm camping these days or parked on the top of the parking ramp and recharging the fenix readyset battery unit.

switched to velcro tye downs so i can just pull it off and out and not need a knife to remove it.

Got a ticket for no front plate - while parked in the parking garage at LAX. Ironically, being a new car, I don't have one on the rear yet either; I guess it's a good thing I didn't get TWO tickets! Gotta love the LAPD!

After mounting the new DuelL AG exhaust, I found that with the factory resonator in place that it was still a little too mellow for me. So, this morning, I made a trip over to my favorite exhaust guy and had him perform a transplant. I had the center section of pipe with the resonator removed and a new piece of pipe (no resonator) installed. Now, it sound like it should with the new looks. It sounds aggressive, but not too boisterous.

Did a minor detail earlier. Now you can't even tell I've been hauling dogs all week.

Output is amazing compared to my old halogens and my parents Navigator they have. I was actually expecting average but to my surprise pretty good!

Just redid my mount with proclip, much better. Sturdier. No movement at all with the GPII's stiff suspension. Map works well, Bluetooth is sync'd

Had my NM Engineering slotted disc Frt/ Rr, along with some EBC Red Stuff pads and NM's SS brake lines installed yesterday, plus it's 6 month oil change. Can't wait till they bed in and I can really test them out.

I agree, but I love the rear bumper even more. Very nice.
