Thanks Mike, I thought I'd seen you post that it was a sh1trun aerial, but when I rang the dealer and asked, he simply laughed and said "No idea where you've heard that"

Do they have them online anywhere? If so I'll order one and wait for it

Hi Mike, just had a look at your LED change on climate control. Looks great! Especially the white LED´s for the buttons look alot nicer. Is this a hard job to do because i´m not completely satisfied on some of the LED´s on the facelift unit... the ones behind the temp/turn knob are not that bright. It also works on the MFD screen but on daylight you can hardly read the temp set on the unit.

Hello Mike, the car looks stunning! Love the Red/Black contrasts.

Can I drop mine off at yours at some point, as yours always looks GLEAMING in the pictures, on your driveway, being washed!

I'm going to (also) buy the Cup Splitter and would be interested to hear of your experiences with it.
Did you consider it a decent mod? How easy was it to fit / did it come with all the necessary fitting hardware?

Any feedback appreciated.

Think I have just seen you on the m60. Car looked spot on and sounded amazing.

Cheers for the spot

Had a drive across the a616 & a628 on my way to visit the guys at B.C.S automotive. Brilliant drive, drove along with a lovely silver r36 Saloon *

Massive thank you to Dave at BCS for fitting some of the heat reflective material they use on Nobles above my tailpipe and fitting my new rear apron, with a broken arm I should add! *:congrats: :notworthy:

Before...

During....

Think it has a funky Motorsport look about her

Dave bending his arm ways that a recent biking accident / injury was trying not to let him * :notworthy:

After....

Was great to meet Mark, a friend of Nath 'Greenhouse' from mk5golfgti.co.uks' Detail my ride and Mark Oats 'MarkyMark' and his lovely Candy white SiroccoR that was having a BCS power valve system. His Miltek DP flange welds were cracked and the fitment was pretty pants. *The BCS system on the Rocco looked Awesome! Mark openly admitted getting a semi but Im sure he'll be along to explain that lol

Glad I, like Mark ditched my Miltek for the BCS system in my eyes it's it's much better thought out and built on the car

I'd recommend BCS systems to anyone whether it be a decatted 6" resonated or their clever power valve system that is quite whilst driving around but opens a valve to allow a much sportier note when driving hard Nige & the lads are really friendly ad accommodating

Saw a black Gti on the way home A4 KO** I think it was, in black.

Been in the car on my own all day so had some really enjoyable driving. *Hopefully Mark was impressed by the short drive we went for while his system was being fitted *:smiley:

Looking good dude, loving the new Gloss Black valance.

I must say that having heard your car on song the BCS sounds stunning, its got a really lovely note to it without being too obtrusive in the cabin.

Good work as always mate!

 

[Buzz123]

mate looks the part.
I love how you took a picture of a guy screwing your valance on for you haha

Cheers Matt. I love the sound of the BCS sounds ace in the cabin but I've never heard it on boost from the outside.

Hope you can make it Saturday bud

Yeah haha. Dave is a diamond bloke he even polished my tailpipe up for me
