Mine is next to the license plate. i suspect a previous owner replaced the panel with a European version either out of desire, or in coordination with a repair. I like it, and am happy that it is there.

...or the quircky reflectors on the side of the rear bumper..
Stop by the shop today. Not as much progress as I had hoped for. I honestly don’t think I’m going to have my vehicle on the road until July at this rate. Such is life. https://www.facebook.com/groups/bmwe9/permalink/1493581917453675/
Keep in mind assembly takes much longer than disassembly when it comes to these cars.
agreed. that's why i have no expectation of being on the road anytime soon....
Today's update. Nothing key to report per se.
almost done. Picked up all the metal work, so we have ALL parts now. Costs $1350 to get it all cleaned. They couldn't do the kidney or the chrome around the headlight housing. All they need to do is put it back together. I am supposed to "race" NEXT friday in SLC. Odds on me going?
I say zero....

not sure if you know or not, you have to put the trim in the rubber around the windows before you put the rubber in the car
and when you say they couldn't do the 'chrome' around the headlights, do you mean the grill? that is aluminum
if you mean the buckets behind, you can have those zinc plated

passed onto Gary. Thx
I mean the aluminum for kidney bmw grill center and around the black plastic that holds the headlights, as shown.
That is also aluminum. You need to remove the black plastic slats to properly polish it. The plastic is not meant to be removed either.
I had those grill parts redone at speedway and they look great
If I had to do over again I would’ve started there
This is a CSI, so likely factory placement.
Note that I didn’t center the tape perfectly over the holes, but the tape line is pretty level. The vertical tape is square to the horizontal. I gave the caliper a little bit extra on the vertical measurement to account for the horizontal tape placement.

So I decided I am going to be taking my Porsche Cayenne turbo S on the track on Thursday rather than trying to push to get my car completed. Hopefully my car will be ready early next week.

More fun in the Westfalia, but the Cayenne will work...
OMG. That would be a trip...

It would be slow enough you could do some camping mid-corner...
How about a shakeout period before venturing on the track.
