The kit you have recomended looks like it is quite easy to fit, and as I have witnessed you dissapearing into a red blur at many events, it obviously works well! How easy is it too fit, do u have to remove the fog lights etc? Thanks, James

	James, it's pretty simple to fit. You have to remove the front bumper and remove the fogs. The good thing is that the ducts can use the same mountings as the fogs. You will need to trim the ducts that come from Bimmerworld, I have templates for these that I made when I did mine (I can do copies for anyone who needs them). You also have to cut a hole in the plastic covers that are found on the inside of the wheelarches adjacent to the sump. These let the hoses through. Repalcing the backing plates is very straightforward, 10 minutes with the tin snips sees the old backing plates off. That's it really. If you want to have covers for the ducts to stop birds, small children etc getting stuck in them for daily use I have a wizard and very DTM "Stylie" solution. Oh, and yes your right, they do work. Probably too well for really cold days. Depending on your pad and ambient temp. running them partly blanked off can be necessary.

	Cheers Roops, That kit does look a good option, I am also looking at another too. Turner Motorsport (US) do a "four pot" kit that will fit under standard 15" Rims. The kit comprises of two four pots, and two stainless lines. They cost $795, which I believe is roughly �500, as to the quality of these or the practicality, that is a different question! I would've thought the 750 Master cylinder would be a must to drive the fours. I have other priority's at the moment, I gotta get it going quicker before a break upgrade is necessary! Cheers for your help, and I shall see you at Brands! James
