For anyone considering these guage faces, be aware that the tick marks on the tach between 5500 and 6500 RPM do not light up properly without extensive modifications to the tach.
Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.
Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.
The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.
The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.
This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

I bought a Convertible Rear Beltline Trim Kit for my R52 . I was really concerned if it was going to fit like the original. This part is very expensive, so I was quite concerned. I finally bought it and it was the best thing I bought for my Mini. It fit perfect. Outmotoring customer service was amazing. These guys are a class act. Thank you.
There's a definite improvement in feel in the pedal. I've had to get hard on the brakes a few times recently due to deer activity and bad traffic patterns and have noticed a slightly higher and firmer pedal. Combined with quality pads and rotors, these will complete a street worthy brake system.
