Such a shame that you have to run a front plate. Such a nice looking MINI.

Move to Arizona and you can take the front plate off. Makes no sense for other states to still require them.

**Update**

Round 2of the mods..

Alta strut tower braces





Love em, but Alta didn't include any instructions. No biggee, but would have liked torque values.

Alta shorty antenna



Alta temp gauge



To be installed when I do my first maintenance at 1500 miles.

Light and sight
