Wow she's pretty. How do you have the front license mounted? Are those just tie wraps?

Yep just tie wraps, I couldn't bring myself to tell the dealer to drill holes in my lovely new JCW front bumper. I tried to move it over to the side as far as possible so as not to restrict airflow but I'm starting to feel a bit guilty. When I get around to installing the M7 grilles and put in an upgraded intercooler I'll move the plate to it's normal position on the bumper.

Thanks! Yeah we've been talking about the joey mod of late but haven't decided yet. I reckon we'll probably end up doing it.

Looking better and better. Did you get the headlight/taillight rings from somewhere, or paint them yourself? Also what washers are you referring to?

How's this?

I'm a fellow SmugMug user.

EDIT: Just to clarify, I just took the link and changed the end from 'L' (Large) to 'O' (Original).

Mozza, Looks great man!

You should feel like a pretty lucky guy, you were the last one to get a set of our custom emblems.

Hey Mozza, finally got delivery of my JCW and it is great. I made the mistake of test driving another JCW with a JCW alcantara steering wheel while waiting for my car to arrive a week and a half ago. When I drove mine with the MF Sport wheel today, I realized that the other had a much better feel so I am probably going to change it out. Are you glad that you got the alcantara vs the leather version? Also, is yours MFunctional?
Thanks again!

As far as the front license plates I always like to put the euro plates on mine. I don't like to drill in the bumper either I just use the 3M modeling tape to hold the plate and holder. Then it looks like it is in the bumper but you never mess it up by drilling.
