Mechanic used high-strength threadlocker on my BSA bottom bracket – should I be concerned?

My mechanic recently removed and reinstalled the threaded BSA bottom bracket on my Cube Aim EX. He told me there was already threadlocker on the bottom bracket threads, so he applied fresh Würth high-strength threadlocker (“Schraubensicherung hochfest”) during reassembly.

The bike works perfectly and the cranks spin smoothly with no play or unusual resistance.

However, I’m wondering whether using high-strength threadlocker on BSA bottom bracket threads is appropriate. Could this cause problems when the bottom bracket needs to be removed in the future?

Would you leave it as it is, or remove the BB now, clean the threads and reinstall it with grease or a different compound?

Fred Perry M3600 sizeing

I would like to buy the Fred Perry M3600 polo shirt. I am 187 cm tall and weigh around 81 kg. I prefer a slightly looser, more relaxed fit rather than a slim fit. Which size would you recommend for me, XL or XXL?

I already own several Fred Perry M3600 polo shirts in XL, but I have the impression that the newer models are slightly smaller than the older ones.

Size fit of Patch Pocket Puffer Jacket J1315

I wear most of my Fred Perry wardrobe in size XL. In the description on the Fred Perry website, it is stated that the jacket is in a relaxed fit. Does anyone have this jacket model and can confirm whether to get a standard size or smaller?

Golf 7 glossy black plastic into the rear roof spoiler replacement

I have a 2016 Volkswagen Golf 7 hatchback and I'm wondering about the glossy black plastic trim integrated into the rear roof spoiler, around the third brake light.

Does anyone know if this black trim piece can be replaced separately, or is it only available as part of the complete spoiler assembly?

I've attached photos for reference. If anyone has part numbers, repair experience, or knows how this piece is mounted, I'd really appreciate the help.

Rim painting - which product to choose?

Maybe not for this group, but I need some advice. I want to repaint my rims and take them to a professional body shop. The color code is Z49 VW Salvador rims, so I'm wondering which manufacturer should I get it from? I've seen Carross and Tristar offer Z49 rim color. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I live in Europe.
