2026 is the year of the Mod.

$100aud off aliexpress in the vert. Pretty impressed honestly

I do like that the aux port cover looks kind of like a cassette slot.

Anyone know where to get an aluminum compressor housing polished?
Somewhere that knows turbos and won't polish the inside ruining the clearances.

Preferably up in canuck land but could ship if a shop is worth it.

Get some sandpaper and polishing wheels and DIY? What I'd do is call local turbo shops and ask if you can send them one for polishing, many shops offer polished housings as an option these days and aside from turbonetics I don't think they come from the factory that way so they must be doing it themselves. I know one of my "local" turbo suppliers used to post videos on instagram of their in-house polishing guy doing his work.

Just use some stain remover and soak em a bit and you'll okay

He sat in my Porsche and called it a VW and I had to ask him to leave

Also, his rims look even larger in person

The embrace was nice and warm, but those dirty handprints will be hard to clean off my pants...

FCP Euro has also delivered the goods.

I'll need a hug too

A hood strut and a reach around. That's what this site is about. True male companionship.

Ever since they opened up in AZ, I've gotten stuff from FCP in 1-2 days, even with the free shipping option.
But ECS takes over a week. Whatever, I just go with who's cheaper on the part I need.
I keep forgetting about Pelican even though they're super local.

I don't buy it. Anytime I buy shit from FCP, it takes them a damn week to ship it.

my shit always seems to ship the same or next day and i have it in a day. but that's coming from their HQ in CT.

Yea, supposedly its already packed up in Arizona but will take a week to arrive... doesnt make sense, but if it arrives before the end of the week, fine.

Really annoyed... I just ordered some parts for the Jetta and realized I should've just bought the hood strut for the E30 so I immediately got on the phone to FCP Euro... after waiting on hold for 12 minutes the guy on the phone says that its already in packing and they cant make any changes to the order...

It's the recommended price.

Dealers get everything cheaper.
Blunttech, for example, said they can deliver everything from MVP.

It's good to have more products that have been discontinued by BMW.

I think that's just the side pieces, then bumpers are like another $500 each?

You're right, maybe I should have looked at the pictures. It's $1649 all in if you buy it from them. Suddenly the other option doesnt sound too bad
