Yeah sure !

Its funny how many So Cal guys have shown interest in these, I think about 6 so far.

In fact I have noted interest from every single continent in the world except Antarctica . (Must be the strict noise regulations )

These chaps are very big into the "Under promise, Over deliver" theory and so I really can't wait for the finished product

I've always been a firm believer in "supporting the small guy" as they are usually grass roots type ops that really put their heart and soul into their products.

Plus it will be rather exclusive compared to a SS & Dinan headers.

Yep, keep us updated on the availability with the headers. The car needs some new parts.

I was one of the orignal members of the "illuminated door sill GB". Interesting that so many were interested and when it come to shelling out the money so few really did it. Better luck with this one. Interested, waiting for the price.

Hi Guys,

Here are some, poor phone camera pics of the headers on my car :



















These are the test fit set (unfinished). They feel there is still a little bit of tweaking to be done (seemed fine to me ), plus someone very important in their chain had to go on holiday.....hence a slight delay !

Lets see how it goes this week ! I will do my best to get you a sound clip this weekend

Thanks

Yes Alex ! Good progress in my opinion too (especially considering we are in the 'holiday' period) ! Could have been better, but maybe at the expense of fit, finish and performance output. These guys WILL deliver an extremely good, reliable, high quality product, for good value !

Getting down to you will be one of my first journeys with the headers on the car

Thanks

Hey Alex,

Looks like your car made it into TotalBMW again - page 50 if you haven't seen it.
