Looks a really nice car. I like the bonnet mascot, very grand!
Sorry....
Only thing i can spot is that a proper early bumper blade has the mounting holes for the overiders a bit closer together, so they don't line up with the side lights, but if you had one of those there wouldn't be as much room for your foglights. And they're not available new anyway as far as I know. My Series 2 has a Minor 1000 type blade on too but I don't have overiders (not even rubber ones) on that car.
Setting myself up for comments as if I hadn't done already by admitting to liking and using a pair of rubber overiders, my Series 2 was one of the most adorned cars I've ever encountered when I bought it. A lot of what I've done to it since has been to tone it down a bit and remove some of the excesses...
It still has a badge bar, actually the old one got pinched between being photographed for the auction catalogue and it appearing in the auction, but it seemed the easiest way to fill the holes in the bumper valence was to replace it. Wearing a League of Safe Drivers badge and an RAC Motorsports Member badge in this pic but I change them when the whim strikes me....
The foglights are Lucas surface mount ones fitted where the sidelights should be (now in headlights). I keep getting asked if I would sell them as Mini folk seem to want them to mount on the boot lid as reversing lights - '60s Monte Carlo style, but they've been on the car so long now they can stay. Lights below the bumper are indicators, since replaced with smaller more discrete ones.
Streamlined bezels round the wing mirror stalks (a candidate for the subject of this thread perhaps?) - pretty useless but its always had them and it looked odd without when I replaced the wings recently....
Ribbed aluminium strip along the sills - again a bit of random styling. Personally I think it looks better than just fitting stainless sill finishers which visually break up the lines of the car (unless a traveller where the wood does that anyway). If I took them off, I'd have to weld up the screw holes in the wings, body side and sill finishers, so they stay on that account at least!
It also has a strange chrome boot rack, quite old and bolted directly through the boot lid - not a Paddy Hopkirk style clamp on job. Never seen another one like it and removing it would leave six holes to weld up and it does see active use from time to time such as a gearbox and a pair of Land Rover tyres (not at the same time!).
I took the extra wheel trims off when I restored a set of Series 2 rims for it, though they were good for hiding the odd coloured set of wheels it had previously...
