"Modded" my rear bumper:
As it turns out, the dark gray metallic color of many Ford pickups (including the one parked behind me this morning) is invisible when looking through your rearview in the "night" setting.... No damage to the truck, as I was backing up slowly out of my garage, but it really skmoodged my bumper cover's paint. I guess once we get some cooler weather, I'll pull both bumper covers and hit them with the black Plasti-Dip like I did with the bonnet....

You're right, the stock ***** and shifter shafts are not threaded.
My shifter has been replaced by the Craven short shifer which is threaded.
If you like this style of **** ask the eBay seller if he has non threaded ones and also check HOT ROD SHIFT *****, I knowthey have both threaded and non-threaded versions.
Cheers

Installed an AEM intake for my friend's Clubman S
And worked on my friend's JCW front bumper. Installed brake ducts and front bumper with M7 splitter.
Getting ready for the track tomorrow.

Yesterday I tested the brakes out on my GPII when a 16 yr old girl ran out into the middle of the street a few feet from my MINI. the brakes, along with the Kumho tires just work. If you're looking for GPII parts, get the brakes.

Thanks - I think so too. 
My wife just drove the car and said she really noticed the difference - no more sun glare off the chrome mirror caps.

Connected to the x9331 connector for full range signal for my subwoof and amp. No more HK sound processor stealing signal below 100hz.

Aren't they the same brakes from the M series BMW ?

Then... Wham, the computer age came, kids stopped playing outside, and having actual friends. Blame the internet and the extremes people go to to keep their children "SAFE"...
