Just bought an M-Tech 2 steering wheel from Byron, couldn't be happier.

He sent me some great pictures, was quick to reply to emails and sent the wheel promptly and well packaged.

Hope to deal with him again in the future

I sent Byron a bored out throttle body with a mis-matched butterfly,he was able to make me a decently fitting butterfly and set up the TPS correctly for me.
So he is a skilled fabricator/engineer who can be trusted to do a quality job to a high standard.

Many thanks.

I sold Byron some things today- genuinely one of the nicest most helpful people I have had the pleasure of meeting in 12 years of car ownership. We chatted for a couple of hours (I'm sure he had places to be!), and he helped me out with identifying a few of the more 'special' parts on my E30 with some really good in depth knowledge of all things BMW. Clever guy too- if any of you need any work doing the man is the real deal!

Thoroughly recommended. :)

Hero!

Can't thank him enough for getting me out of the mess quickly, efficiently and without fuss. He really went out of his way to help me out and that is what the zone should be about.

Thank you :cheers:
