After watching this video I went away and bought a pair of Emerald Struts for my 120d and they're amazing. My Mrs uses the car as a mobile care worker and being able to pop open the boot from the key instead of fumbling with hands full of PPE has made life so much easier.

@@jamiesumner8311 in all honesty, for me yes it was worth it. Being able to open the boot from the key as you approach the car, or are sat inside it just makes life so much easier. When the wife used the car for work she could open the boot to get her PPE even if she was carrying something. Any time we did shopping we could pop the boot as we approached and then simply put the bags in without having to put things down then pick them up again. Now its become a bit of a project car and we have a custom audio setup in the boot with amplifiers, subwoofers, additional speakers and lighting. Having the boot open to reveal the set up instead of having to manually release and lift the door just looks so much better. Its not just aesthetically pleasing, its practical as well.

Hello mate I’m a new subscriber and definitely going to get some of them boot struts they are awesome. But just wondered do you know of anywhere that sells the angel headlights for a 1 series mines a 2015 but shape before yours thanks in advance

Hey Brett, quick question. When using those Aftermarket Pedals, u lose a bit of way in the gas pedal. This does not happen with the Originalparts because they use screws and not this kind of lip on the pedal to hook on. I wonder if i should get the Original ones or the aftermarket ones. Did u notice any difference when pushing full throttle with the pedal on ?

Was wondering where I’d seen this motor before.. only to find this morning I drove right past it on the way to work! Looks amazing in real life mate, looking forward to seeing what you do with it next!

I just installed these Emerald Struts and it's pretty nice. Don't like the gap it makes tho... they are pushing my boot away on the roof causing an ugly looking gap between boot/spoiler and roof

The installation of EMERALD STRUTS is a much needed upgrade, as it a practical upgrade and not just for appearance.

wish they did the boot struts for the mk8 fez

Cool video

Yo, good mods there, I really like that boot struts to have that automatic open function and am sorry for that mirror, its really nerv-wreking when to take them off, I too got the feeling of breaking mine the first time when I installed new mirror caps but luckly I didnt, tip for the future, when removing, tilt the mirrors upwards as much as you can with the buttons so u get a bigger gap to work with. Dunno if u did that but oh well /Cheers, good videos 👍

Some luxmats ! Check them out if you haven’t already . You can custom design your own mats on line and they are car specific and cover 95% of the carpet. You can also choose your own logo. Mine were £260 but with carbon fibre they are £320. Diamond floor mats are the cheaper alternative that are £160 but are limited as far as design is concerned . Reach out to luxmats uk they may hook you up .
