You mean the "joey mod"? I have done it a few times now on the R56 and they seem to turn out great, and pretty easy to do. Especially for you with all your fancy equipment! If you want any tips or what not, let me know! Well worth the effort!

I think it is two persons seated. For the seatbelt alarm and the airbag

Morell1972: NICE upgrades on the car! The recaros are just SEX! Was there any issues with mounting the RHD seats in the LHD car? If not more people might want to import them over here! Again, looking good!

that looks sick - I love the body colored headlight and taillight rings and grill surround not to mention the spoiler! Nice job!

Please black out that beltline asap!

No it was easy. Just remeber to cut the battery power befor installing, if you don't do that the airbagsymbol will come on. You have to take the car to a dealer after installing to reset the seats so the seatbeltreminder will function again.

Got the windows tinted late last year, just recently had a warm enough day to melt away the white death so I thought I would wash her and take a few pics!

I never knew this but I'm guessing from the photo that the S in the side scuttle is reflective.

Big Red
Here's a link to my '08 MCS. I've since added Alta stubby antenna, high flow air filter & and JCW strut brace. And- can't forget the checkered valve caps! I'm also working through issues w/ Alta boost tubes (seems to be cut well short of fitting properly. Alta's been more than helpful thus far, so I hope to get them fitted within the next week or so. Many more mods to come over time, but pretty satisifed with "Big Red" as is!
