F55/F56 tweedbean F56 Cooper S Project
I've been dying for a alcantara wheel for the F56. I had the 2nd gen JCW alcantara wheel in my R60 and it was my favorite mod. I wish it was possible to use it in the F56.

Has he agreed to modifiy a steering wheel for you? I contacted him and showed him the pictures of this wheel and he seemed unwilling to work with me on a custom wheel.

Thanks! I actually just hit up nexonmotors and DCT motorsports on facebook earlier tonight and am awaiting response. I found another ebayer selling custom steering wheels (aacars14) and he was willing to work with me but he's in Poland. I'd prefer to work with a company here in the US if possible so I'm hoping to get a positive response from nexon or DCT

So I finally got chance to fit my Wiechers Carbon strut brace. The weave is a perfect match for the GruppM intake I have. Very quick and easy to fit, it just need a couple of slits in the weather seal to slide the bar through and two bolts either end. Quality product supplied by Oli @ Orranje Performance for a great price a usual. Oli will be sorting a group buy price on these very soon, its also available in a polished metal finish. Hopefully should stiffen up the front end nice and looks pretty too

A small trim of the weather seal at either end to get it to fit, not too scary all you need is a sharp knife:

The polished one also looks good and will come in cheaper than the carbon one, however for my car I wanted it to match the intake I have:

Well plans are locked in for 2016 now, allowing me to put my own stamp on this car finally. More to come on that over the coming few months.
In the mean time a few people have asked me for drive by clips of the exhaust, here is a video with the full straight through, decat and valve open on the Remus, enjoy:

Sorry for the late reply.... Didn't contact Ledermanz yet since i don't have the funds ready yet to spend on it.
