Good points Chris. I'll check those in the AM. They need to replace the fuse label and cover as well.
Anticipation...

very nice car ! if you let me drive it in a few rallys it could have that charming "patine" 
I'm looking to have them order in the under-engine tray and mount it (I don't have access to a lift at home, and I think I can have them "throw in" the labor at least).
Is it worth the effort/expense?

The fuse cover you can get from Christoph at cs-werke and also a complete set of decals and the correct placement pictures. It includes the one under the fuse box and engine area

The rear shock caps are these ones from W/N I’m pretty sure

So.... first drive impressions:
Stunning car; photos don't do it justice (at least not my pocket camera).
Very "torque-y" , I think all of the horses are there! Cold start was good, revs don't go as high on cold start as my MBZ, but idle was good, and after a km warm-up, engine idled smoothly.
Lots of power, good torque, even at low RPMs. Engine is newly rebuilt, so I did not push it above 3500 (much).
Very responsive on acceleration, no hesitation. SS exhaust has a great note and nice gentle burble on deceleration (at least at low speeds where I can hear it).
Car has all-new stock suspension set-up, handles well, although it had a slight drift to the right, even though it was just aligned. They had not checked tire pressure, so tomorrow morning they will pull and balance tires and check pressure.
It was a beautiful, sunny day today and I was getting great pleasure out of the drive!
Gee-eez, I can't believe I'm driving my own E9!
I have the morning tomorrow to take it for an extended drive.

Very tempting offer, Barry. As the Japanese say: " I will consider your proposal very carefully."very nice car ! if you let me drive it in a few rallys it could have that charming "patine"
Had a chance to romp it around more today. Very responsive, no hesitation, lots of power. Correcting the air pressure did the trick and it drives straight and true, brakes straight. I love the exhaust note!
Went through the "punch list"... some things I'll get, but not the new rubber boots on the D-Jet connects, which I can understand. It would require dismantling the top end again and starting over. I will be replacing them on my MBZ D-Jet this winter, and I now it will take me at least a day to accomplish!
Good news of the day, I asked for a list of parts replaced, just for the provenance. They replaced the sway bar in the front with increased diameter, and added the 23mm sway bar in the rear. New Bilstein shocks, but don't know yet if they're HD. Car rounds tight bends pretty flat under power.
Waiting for the leak-down and compression tests from the rebuild.
Some of the original labels like the Karmann label in the door will be returned. They were removed for the re-paint.

A few shots from around the shop:
So, we've all thought: "Wouldn't it be nice to have a 2002 like it was straight out of the factory?"...
This 1972 2002 has.... drum roll, please....
4,500 ORIGINAL KMs... yes, that's right, don't ask me how.
Those are the original factory/dealer service stickers. Engine as it looks has never been washed.
Carpets are clean, soft, pliable, with original Coco Mats on top! Factory seats with vinyl sides and textile centers are like new, horse hair pads feel like new.
The dealer sold it before it even made the carriage across from the original owner in Austria!
I have more photos and videos on my phone, but cannot transfer them at the moment.
Once polished and detailed, it will look brand new. He's trying to figure out how to detail the engine without disturbing those paper stickers!
So Atlantikblau has my vote as one of the colors that best complements the E10, E9, E3 form...
This one has something like 30,000 original miles, new paint and upholstery.
This Chamonix 2.5CS has 47(?),000 original kms, original paint. It looks like it just rolled off the assembly line...
Clean 2800CS:
A cute, cherry '74 2002Tii:
I forgot to shoot the beautiful '68 Bristol 1600 (just like my first '02!) You can catch a glimpse next to the Atlantik Tii...
I almost forgot the Turbo...

What a stunning car! Congratulations!
Quick question: What kind of strange license plate is that? Definitely does not look Swiss. It looks like an old Dutch plate but in a highly unusual color.

Good eye; Dutch Dealer Plate...
What a shop!
I cannot believe some of the cars they have found just in the past six months. That '68 Bristol 1600 is much better than the one just sold on BaT.
By E10 you mean Type 114
I am entertained by the term "E10". As I understand it, BMW has no such chassis code. But the bimmer crowd has assigned this number out of convenience and lineage along side of the actual E3 and E9 designations. At least that is how it has been explained to me (by some pretty well entrenched '02 enthusiasts/owners).
Although I did read somewhere that the roundies are "type 114", and '74+ square tail light cars are E10s. I don't think I agree with that, but welcome being corrected.
I agree, first time I had ever used the expression. They’re always “02”s to me, but it seemed to fit the reference to color matching all body types...
The collection of cars in that showroom are amazing. It would be difficult to get in and out of there without a life change.
Looks like you found the perfect place to get the Unicorn.
All round tail light 2002s are Type 114, the square light cars are e10, the touring are e6, the Turbo is an e20. The NK cars started with (based on displacement) 115, 116, 118, 120 (CS coupes) and the 2000 sedans are Type 121.
I stand corrected, and pleasantly educated.
I just read where the e10 nomenclature may have begun with the Model 71 roundies according to the German 02 club.
I just got the beauty shots from Oldenzaal...
