Re: B3's 2004 - Swift Performance Aylesbury

russ and stu used to jointly own dmw since it was incorporated so i was using dmw from 2011 to when SP launched. they still refer work to each other and help each other out but target different markets albeit principally bmw focused although russ is into those fast yaris things as well

I would like at some point to look at a brake upgrade for me D3 Biturbo. Cheers Mark. thats great thanks ...
