Lost one in my mother-in-law's Mini's engine bay. That thing is shoehorned into that engine bay - not sure how you can do almost anything on it without dropping the motor!

This happnened to me when inwas installing my MMD ducktail! Cept it was both central screws. I actually undid the bolts on my trunk lid and took it off, shook it like a madman and they both fell out. Got some line lock, placed my lid in the grass on top of newspaper and cardboard and screwed em in nice and tight. I gotta say taking the factory lip was tough, removing all adhesive was nearly impossible, putting the new wing on took 5 mins lol
I'm not as creative! I left the trunk liner off and drove for 2 days. I popped the trunk one afternoon and thankfully it had fallen out and was easy to find. (2nd part of the challenge)

I found a hex head socket today sticking out of my splash shield that I droped 5 weeks ago when changing the TB.
I thought it was a goner but there it was sticking out and saying take me back to the tool box!

I lost the green retaining clip that attaches the tranny vacuum line to the air intake when installing my Steeda cold air intake.
Took a flashlight and looked to no avail. Hopefully it's on top of the splashguard and will be found the next time the oil is changed.
Used a skinny zip in it's place for the time being.
