I have the Thinkware F800 pro, front & rear camera. You can, if you want, switch off the speed stamp on the video; of course it would be easy enough to calculate it based on distance/time for the video, if that was needed.

There's a lovely showroom in Akasaka called Bingo Sports (unfortunate name, but lovely cars: link ) - part of my daily walk to work - although it doesn't have any Alpina's in there, there are 3 Veyrons, loads of Ferraris, Porsches and the odd M1... very nice. This is my current favourite: http://www...

good result there, Mick!

I once put an aero spoiler on a Saab using the Saab adhesive - that was never coming off ! :D Be careful on the alignment when replacing ;)

Hey Mick - IIRC mine is held together by a double sided adhesive, but is below the top lip. It was split to respray (and had the plinth done at the same time :)) and I cant remember seeing any clips/screws. I can have a look at the weekend though.
