Yeh it's dans place mate he was more then helpful with me test fitting them and yeh I couldn't be happier to be honest just need tyres.

Thinking 215 35 on the 9j and 225 35 on the 10j ??

i reckon they would work alright, but Dan would be the best person to ask

Yeh I've seen both options whilst at his place but seem to be swaying towards the 35 profile

So I've ordered my tyres! In the end I went for 205/40/18 on the 9 and 215/40/18 on the 10.

I have also bought some lci paddles as I don't like the weird ability to shift up and down on either paddle on the pre-lci ones



And I have been trying to strip the centre rings on the rf's so I can paint them the exact colour of the wheels since the powder was a little off. An hour on the grit blaster had a tiny piece back to alloy so going to invest in some gasket remover to get the job done!!

[E90freak]

Got money burning a hole in my pocket so I'm thinking either lci halo headlight conversion or a dash swap and get I-drive?? Or maybe some carbon goodies?

You're gonna get a nice stretch with those sizes ! Id do the I-drive and a retrofit on the projectors.

Thanks I was going to use 215/35's both front and back but I think that is too much for a daily driven car! And yeh I'm on the hunt for the necessary parts but might take a while to get a good deal on everything!

[E90freak]

My OCD took over and this happened



Wasn't happy with the centre cap colour not matching so went to get some paint but the wheels are all different colours are been powdered aswell so strip down, acid dip and spraying them myself this time as I should of done in the first place

[RuizGT]

Dammit, I thought the last post was going to be mounted pictures, lol.

[E90freak]

As if things weren't going to plan already I got drove into last Friday



A new front door, panel beating and a dab of paint and I should be picking it back up on Monday and got the RF centres to the bodyshop to get sprayed up so hopefully....... Just maybe...... I could be done for ultimate dubs lol

[1stclasslex]

daam for real shit was just getting good. the hit doesnt look to bad. but yes a set back to the build
bbs are money . its going to look good with them

[E90freak]

Got her back from the bodyshop last week



And then decided to retrofit the LCI paddles and to get rid of the crappy pre-lci push/pull setup which I *****.....



And then went out for a quick shoot




Still waiting on wheels to be painted and then get them built
