Looking at mmalleck's rebuild of a '66 S (in Members' Mini Gallery) and attempting something similar, questions have occurred:
1. If early minis had chrome bumpers and later minis had SS bumpers, do Coopers have matching overriders and nerf bars also?
or are all overriders and nerf bars in stainless steel?
2. Sorry. Too silly to ask. Oh alright... does the original front panel have a "d" shaped cutout on the LH side, just in front of radiator, or should it be a solid piece?

overriders and bars are stainless - or mine all are at least ('70)
