Thanks for the detailed shots. Is it possible to find an OEM or OEM looking M2-1002 front bumper anywhere? The M2-1002 front bumper is subtle looking (much more so than M2-1001) but more aggressive than the standard nose that's on there now.

I replaced one of the window regulators recently. The riveted bar you see is where the door pull fixes. Note it fixes in an entirely different place from standard, hence the rather crude bar being riveted in by the M2 guys. So, if you are lucky enough to acquire M2 door cards, unless you fabricate this bar as well, you're going to rip apart your lovely trim.
The fact it isn't body coloured also indicates this was never installed during body assembly. The use of rivets, rather than captive nuts suggests to me that this modification was done on the hoof by M2.

Weird! Why didn't they just use the standard door pull mounting points like the 94-95? Do the other M2-10** cars have this too?

As far as I know, the same sized door pull was used in the 1001. The hand is quite small; you can only get 2-3 fingers through it. It might have been partly to do with fitment issues regarding the 1001 seat.
Today, I bid goodbye to the M2-1002, leaving it with its new owner, to join his expanding stable of rare and interesting Roadsters. Interesting while it lasted.
