Finally fixed my sunroof shade sliders. First time it's worked correctly in years. :)

I took off my front bumper on the ///M so I could take off the old lip spoiler in preparation for my new one, and adjust for an even gap when reinstalling the front bumper. I noticed a few styrofoam pieces missing so I managed to get new ones to reapply onto my kevlar bumper support. Once everything was secured, I reinstalled my bumper for a perfect fit. :)

Interesting that "facelift" ///Ms have the kevlar bumper support....

That came out nice for hand work. To get great shine you would do best with machine for speed and consistency.
Installed new (proper length) speedo cable and new (also proper length) parking brake cables.
Bought sheet metal to cover all the previous holes in rear parcel shelf from years of different speaker install's - plan to weld in tomorrow and run a thick line of body seam sealer
Trying to stop exhaust fumes from getting into the cabin
and installed the BBS RSs

I'm thinking Anna's car looks badassery like that...
Those RS' look amazing on the '02, Stuart. The Mini... not so period correct. :)
So are you busting out your welding skills again? Hopefully you pick it right up again.

Honestly, you can't really tell that much that the material is off. From the outside it looks the same as the factory material (just not sagging) and on the inside, so far nobody has noticed.
