What did you do to your mini today?
I totally agree. The oem GP spoiler is not just expensive its insane expensive!! lol. That's why im looking at the Orranje or the Fubrication brand. Im going to email Orranje here tonight I think. Ive already emailed Fubrication and am waiting for a reply from them. I will be getting one just want to see which one is better fit and quality.

And yes, SpeedBird 1 was actually the call sign used for Concorde
Yes. the deal with the rear window is the mounting tabs come with the gp rear window only.. You cant buy just the mounting tabs. Its nothing more then a channel of metal with holes in it. That channel is then glued into the glass lip. The rear window is nothing different other then that. Why they would delete the rear wiper is beyond me though. Its not in the way of anything as far as I know. Unless its a performance thing.. But lets just say its the typical bs MINI has done to make things expensive when really it shouldn't be..lol. But I think im going with the Orranje brand gp spoiler. Looks like those guys have done there homework on it and seems to be a solid product!

No worries you will be the first to know. I will post some pics of it when I get it. Im not sure how long it takes to get it. It will be coming from the UK. But it seems they really have a high quality product. I will pass on all the info as I find out more! All fingers crossed! lol
Just ordered the GP2 front belly pan from ECS a day after I installed the diffuser! lol I told myself I would wait for my birthday for the belly pan which is still 5 months away, but couldn't resist. Oh man, it's a wonderful thing that my wife loves me, hahaha!!

Took Alfie out for his first run in the snow. We put Blizzaks on last month and hadn't really gotten a chance to test them out. Actually thought they were a bit squishy compared to our summer tire performance. We played in a parking lot that was on a severe incline, ice covered and ends in a lake (if you're going to do something, it might as well be all the way). After doing some semi-donuts the MINI slipped a bit and then just pulled away like there was no ice underneath. Those winter tires passed the test for us!
I wasn't happy with pepper white bits from the hood and bumper showing through the new grill, so I went ahead and painted the insides black. My mind is now at peace

I have the Grillcraft mesh grills and I'm not crazy about them.
I got them from ebay ( http://www.ebay.com/itm/02-03-04-05-06-Mini-Cooper-R50-R52-R53-JCW-Style-2-Piece-Honeycomb-Grill-Grille-/191040233858?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3ACooper&hash=item2c7ae2a182&vxp=mtr )

Epic day! Started late yesterday afternoon really. I stripped my front bumper off and the wheelarch trim (Wheel well), installed MINI halo driving lights in a freshly painted Aero II bumper with brake vent kit. All the pre-assembly that could be done was done during the week, but the goods went on today. Pics later
