The Michelin 4S's are apparently better than the MPSS. I like those as all rounders, good in the dry and decent in the wet/cold. I've got 30,000 kms on my MPSS and they are not worn out yet.

I found the MPSS a great tire when I ran them. Maybe get give the 4S a run

Mod 95 - BavGruppe Design RGB-W AEs

Once again not technically a mod because this is the third set of AEs that have been installed. Gone are the crappy F40 style AEs and CF lids
Back to a nice clean set of round AEs.. Lets see how long the LEDs last

The photos didn't come out so nice... the AEs are bright but not as bright as shown in the pics

Pics below

I had done a headlight mod on my prev car and said never again too many failures issues

Yeah fuck that, would never open headlights and stick new lights and wires in.

Trev88 · 02-11-2018, 06:16 AM

Were they done by Nate again?

Not so bad after you have done it a couple of times mate

That said it did take all day and the sealant is a bastard sticks to everything...

Hopefully this set will go the distance, not like the crappy cheap Chinese rings that you can buy off ebay hahaha

These bm frm units really are a proper pain in the ass.

I've actually never not been able to fix one provided it's not physically damaged.

There are 2 issues I have encountered.

1. Internal fault code - requires a manual full software dump and re upload. Pretty straight forward.

2. Short circuit - requires a basic reset of each light at each address. Tool32 will work fine for that.

misfiring and oil leaks.

Replace one thing another thing leaks.

Joys of the N54.
