Thinking of doing this if mine gets the all clear in April

The plates are self made by them, they look like the HPA plates.

Thanks Mick!

BTW, are you planning to do the epoxy resin too? I'm coming around to the thinking that I might get both the resin and plates done now if there are no cracks found in mine in April, as I'm nearly up on the 10 years limit, and have no warranty going forward

No i don't think to do the epoxy resin.
That's also the way i was thinking, if the warrany is over and you get a subframe problem it's for your own cost.
(Now it was about 850 pounds inc subframe bushings that's not a big price)

Only reason I say both is because of various posts I've seen around that say just doing the plates on their own can move the issue to another part of the subframe longer-term. Or does anyone know if this nonsense?

7 csl's not been checked, i'd quess and say over half of them will have cracks as long as they take them to someone who knows exactly where to check, as if your not in the know there hard to find!

In with BMW at the moment for a FOC repair.

There are 2 types of CSL, those with cracks and those that will have cracks

I have a correspondence saying that no CSL in the world ever had this problem
