Looks like I've got to go to the US next week, should be there for about a week.

What small items for my S are really worthwhile getting while I'm there.

Bit of bad timing as I've just bought a load of braces and an ETD.

I bought a porter cable when i was in new york this year, got it delivered to the hotel .

You could keep it or sell it on.

I can give you the details if you want them.

PC is worthwhile or a couple of Modifry DCIs.

If I was there I'd probably buy some Bose X headsets and a Garmin 496 but that's not much use to you

Last month I came back with front brake pads, air filter, cabin pollen filter and Shin Etsu grease from Hardtopguy. Boring, but saved me a fair few quid.

I went to Texas back in April and bought back a few CR gear knobs from Hardtopguy, a K&N replacement element and some Meguiars Tech Wax 2.0.

Save a few quid as well.

Don't go over there expecting to buy generic parts for the S off the shelf as most tuning places only order parts in when needed. If you do want anything then order it over here and get it delivered to an address over there.
