I got the MINI Marshal gage set, vacuum/boost, water temp., oil pressure, oil temp. They match the tach and speedometer. I am making a mounting plate and gage pods. I'm not finished yet, pictures to follow. The default display on my radar detector is volts, so I didn't get that gage.

The big brown truck finally made it! Got the new wing on post haste and made one quick freeway rip. Can feel it starting to work at about 55mph with a noticeable increase in straight line stability above that. I like it! Don't care for the silver end-plates and supports so they turn black next week.
BTW, BMW is playing fast and loose with what they call carbon fiber. The wing is NOT structural CF, but just a single layer of CF on the top surface of the plastic wing.

You weren't wrong, either! Ran it again this AM and at 80+ the car now feels rock solid. Will give it the acid test with the dreaded Mojave Desert crosswinds in a couple weeks on an 800 miler I have planned. Thanks!

MillTek install and WHOOPS!!!
After installing the MillTek wide tiped cat back, I split a heater hose. The hose is special order, BUT the dealer had the oil dipstick in stock.....GO FIGURE???
The MillTek looks and sounds GREAT!!! I drove it around the block, before a fellow Mini owner showed up for some work.
I JUST finished the install of an Alta 15% on the fellow Mini owners car, and when I tried to go home, STUPID HOSE!!! What a mess. So, Firday I can finish up my car.
