I have also used Longlife/Topgear here in Basingstoke for a few of my cars, just had the centre box deleted on my 4.4, as before they did an excellent job and i'm known there now as i always go back.. highly reccomended!!


[quote=""AW8""]I have used Longlife at Basingstoke before for a stainless steel cat-back system on my daughters then owned Yaris T-Sport. I also got them to professionally repair a corroded downpipe bracket & studs on the Z3 earlier this year.

Highly recommended franchises. The boss always happy to discuss any concerns in advance & confident he has quality control in place. Some venues better than others appearance wise but results experienced thus far have been excellent.[/quote]

Does look good. I'm considering going the other way on my 4.8is as I actually prefer quads.

why you carving out the platic trims B5TEW, what you want are the plastics out of the 3.0i, i have a spare set in the shed but will be cheap from dealers, my exaust filled the holes to much to ned them!

That the one for £180 + £7.99 for postage? Overpriced
