i thought i saw something underneath that rubber, but i guess i made a mistake. So it makes no diff at all if i leave that rubber strip? just aesthetics?

No, I love it. In fact driving a MINI without an Alta doesn't sound like a MINI anymore.

The whistling sound at freeway speeds bugs me a bit, but I'll get over it.

is it really that noticeable? the whistle from the throttle body, that is...

P.S: i doubt very much that i'll get sick of the noise.

Not removing it, just going to mod it a bit to make it quieter. "smaller element and put the wall back in" haven't done it yet.

Well, if it wasn't for the delays with Customs at the moment, you should expect it in 1-2 weeks once your money has cleared. But I reckon it might take a bit longer at the moment.

Really? What is the cause of the delays with customs? And how much longer do you reckon it'll take?
