Looks good!

The milteks always annoy me with how low they sit though.

[George10]

They do sit low but you can still get all the way down

thanx for the grill link.
The checkout doesn't seem to like posting to uk. Did you have to phone them up?
Can you remember what to total cost was?
Did you have to pay customs tax on it?
Was it finished painted, so that it just needs fitting, take it that it had no number plate holes in it?

[George10]

If you go on the American eBay and type in Wolfsburg front grille it should come up with it.
Yes I had to pay tax but only £35
Can't remember the full price but it wasn't cheap
It arrives gloss black ready to fit
No number plate holes as it's a us spec front grille

Just as an FYI I split my front grill (you can remove the front plate part leaving the frame and the grills itself) and had it smoothed and sprayed silver on my old car for £30. 
Much cheaper and the same end result.

[George10]

I am aware you can do that, but he simply asked for the link to where I bought mine.

[xjay1337]

I know
Just thought of the dollar that's all;)

[George10]

Mine and deago's car After his new bcs system fitted  (iphone camera quality)


Only snapped another sensor... E-levels a Great kit but so bloody expensive when things go wrong!!

[xjay1337]

Shame about the sensor
Unless you hit it then it's an odd place for it to snap make sure it's not at a weird angle. jack the car up on the rear and run it through the range of adjustments (from all down to fully up and check it's not bending or anything

They're £120 now and to buy-price isn't really much cheaper 

[George10]

There in places where they can't catch, it's ridiculous. They're so expensive!

[xjay1337]

I'm going to speak to Jamie about fabricating up some steel replacements. You can split the arm from the sensor but you can't buy the arm seperately - Bloody stupid.
That being said I glued mine back together with that stupidly hard bonding agent I forgot the name of. Didn't ride height calibration but no joy! 

[George10]

It's ridiculous. I'm contemplating going to switchspeed or v2..

[xjay1337]

Would be a big step backwards.
You'd be better off fitting some pressure gauges for a manual indication as a backup.

[George10]

I don't think it's worth fitting the guages. E-level is good but it's not as good as you think.

[xjay1337]

My friend has V2 and we both prefer my e-level.
If you have a set of gauges it's exactly the same as a pressure based system. Ride height is far more accurate than pressure. no more reverse raking with your mates in the car! Only a suggestion anyway as a backup for a failed height sensor.
