    Wheels are painted up and finished (for now). Also trimmed up the front arch liners slightly and had a fiddle with the ride height.

    Took the car to Holkham (cattlegrids galore!! ) for some pictures on the estate. Photobucket is being sloooow atm though so can't post them all. Enjoy!

    Hello people

    Well I've finished polishing the lips..thank god! :eyecrazy

    The e36 wheels were a nightmare, had to use this..







    ....then much wet&dry to fat them back before polishing. I know I've said it before, but never again! :sarcastic

    I've also painted two centers using Worth rattle cans which are really good and give an oem colour..









    No pics on the car yet as I've not had time but I'm really not feeling the silver. I want something to contrast the polished lips which silver doesn't do imo. I really don't know what colour to go, I tried satin black on one of the spare wheels which looks good off the car but I don't like black wheels generally..


    (ignore the crap finish, This wheel has be used for testing paint stripping products!)

    I'm thinking a darker silver, anthracite or white. Opinions please!

    What have I started..











    This is one of the Rondells, it's not that bad really as it's diamond cut so won't need too much sanding before polishing. I'm not looking forward to the e36 contours though as they are not diamond cut...

    I **** doing this! Worth it when they're done though

    I have the paint to do the rears the same as the fronts, just no good weather to spray them in It'll get done along with polishing the lips, which is a job I ****!

    Haha! The Scorpion is the best sounding exhaust I've heard on a 4 pot bmw, had a Cybox on there too but it didn't have that burble and scraped everywhere!

    thank god you took that bra off, made the car look crappy, love the new wheels, prob the best set on the car so far, think you should throw some gotti's on here though! 16" faces with 17" slant or step lips would be nasty.

    love these bmw's

    nice fender work btw
    Last picture is an old one and the bra is still on, so it still looks "crappy"

    I really like the bra, a lot of people h a t e them but each to their own..

    I'm always looking at other wheels but these will stay for a while, get painted with polished lips as money is tight at the moment!
