GRS I/C with GTT Snoot Boots

Does anyone know of any problems of using this combination? Is the fit ok?

Also is it worth getting some new bellow clamps from BMW when fitting a new I/C? My car has done 30,000 miles

Cheers

George

GRS IC with GTT snoot boots. No problems with it. Looks good too.

Its a real pain getting them on, but there are ways to make it a bit easier.

Yep, I did consider saying what makes it easier, but I think CooperSLaaad should suffer like the rest of us!

Shows how little you know...you can't use vasaline (petrolium based) you have to use Ann Summers '***** juice' or KY jelly (water based) for my tricks mate

Warm water before any more gayboyjokes. And you lot wonder why people cal mini drivers GAY!!!!....

Yep leave em in hot water and they will become a lot more maliable, or as ROlands advice is a drop of WD40 on em and they slide on no probs.

As for bellows clamps, well i would'nt bother renewng, just be careful on the torx heads as they are very easy to grind off by accident.
