Think I'm going to have to at least try and get a new BCM, I would love mine to run perfectly like the OEM ones. I mean, they are working perfectly fine now, but I'm a bit of a perfectionist (some may say OCD :laugh:).
 And for booth, a picture as promised of the xenons on with the LED strips, good colour match?  :cool:



They look great, very good colour match  :cool:

So within the last couple of weeks, I've treated the old girl to a set of OEM R8 Ignition coils and some NGK Iridium X BKR7EIX spark plugs. Car starts much better now, and also seems to go a little better when given the boot. Still really needs a remap, but that will have to wait.

I also *accidentally* bought a Neuspeed P-Flo Intake as the price was a little too good to resist  :wink: I just love listening to that chatter. :grin:

Most importantly though, i finally decided on a set of rims and tyres! Ended up going for the Glen Watkins in OEM Silver, with the Continental Contact Sport 5s. Have to say, the drive has been totally transformed, and the grip is awesome!

I just ordered some Continental Contact Sport 5's, they are doing a promo at the moment where if you buy 2 wheels you get a free nights stay in a hotel too https://www.continentalroadtrip.com/Registration

My Conti SP 5s have been faultless, rain or shine  :smiley:

mavs - sounds and looks like it's coming along very nicely.  Car looks cracking and although never my favourite wheel, got to say those Watkins Glens are superb against the silver.  The smoked rear LEDs work really well with it too  :cool:

Thanks Booth.  :smiley: I do feel like its finally starting to take shape now.

I ended up getting the Continentals for £90 a corner, so got a really good deal. A free nights stay in a hotel is a pretty good incentive though  :smiley:
