Been flat out using every bit of spare time working on the e28. Trying to get everything done before we have to move house in approx 23 days.



Changed the oil and filter. 3000km old oil and filter still looked perfectly clean which was good.



Next up was pulling the front brakes off.





Modified BC top hats were then fitted. With adjustment maxed out they clear the strut tower by a couple of millimeters.



4" lips ready to go on.



Next up cleaning up centres and getting them to my liking. Used a coarse polish to begin with to remove all scratches and imperfections. Then another polish to make them shine.









Barrels cleaned up, new stainless hardware aquired.







Wheels mated together dry. Bolts inserted with blue loctite and then torqued to spec.









Last up, sealing wheels.




Any feedback on build or photos would be appreciated.

sorry to hear about the loss of the house / garage ! on a side note . Please message me in reguards to bumpers . let me know if you have any for sale

Hours later the lips are polished to my liking. Pity they will need repolishing after tyres are fitted and beaded.





Due to parents breaking up, our house went up for sale and recently sold. Which means all my spares have to go and also my no more perfect garage.


And the next step begins...

how much ground clearance do you got?

Bash plate to ground is approx 40mm.

Front lip to ground approx 100mm.

In my opinion, if you go dark then you have to carry it though with the rest of the car. So I would also do the front lights and indicators in dark.

I do feel that the original orange goes well with the body color of your car.

Need opinions.

Stay original, or go with smoked/tinted side indicators?
