I'm here at Morgan Midatlantic now. Your car is beautiful. Rest assured... Mark is a great mechanic. He already has your windscreen installed and the fugly headlights are off. He let me hear the stage one exhaust. Sounds great. I'm thinking of having them do mine today but not sure I want the extra volume... it's noticeable to say the least. I PM'd you about sending you some pics I took. You must be psyched to say the least.

... Factory agreed not to fit screens on my build last year, to simplify dealer fit of Fairbourne one piece. Maybe not an option for you with imported car though. Was there a reason you didn't spec the factory full screen, which I recall being similar price?
Never thought to ask, and the dealer didn't offer/mention it, but would have been nice to have done indeed! At the time I ordered it (October 2016), they were having supply issues with the factory full screen, something about the coating they were applying during the manufacturing process causing issues I believe. Also, the Fairbourne seemed a bit wider or larger, and came highly recommended. Plus, I can always re-install the small ones later if I want Subsequently, I see the factory screen has blacked-out (smoked) areas around the lower edges, the look of which I'm not crazy about on the M3W. It just seems out of character and unnecessary on a free-standing screen.

I PM'd you about sending you some pics I took. You must be psyched to say the least. I found they do mellow with the miles. Mine were very harsh when first fitted but the difference in the feel of the engine was amazing.

Are you talking about something I said in a different thread ... about only the bright package being available for US export? Bright package means chromed.

Well, my car is finally at the dealer in PA, pending headlight re-configuration, Fairbourne screen, Motolita wheel, 2-eared knock-offs and chrome wheels w/ Blockleys - all of which are there except the Motolita wheel which is delayed. Hopefully pick it up on Friday if all goes well - which it probably won't given the track record so far... Not surprisingly, it's not done yet, mechanic has to leave early Friday, so it will be next week, Monday or Tuesday. Argh...
