Black Gold E46

[Jorge]

So, yellow has gone, as most have seen already, in place of some black centres with brand new gold plated bolts. Decided to take a drive with a friend up to Carsington Reservoir. This is somewhere I've been meaning to hit for a while, had a the road shot in my head for a long time now.

I really need to work on my processing, I kinda rushed these.

Eventful trip there, missed the first turn, went down a 5 mile country lane. My friend had to kick stones out the way of the road, single lane so had to keep letting cars pass on verges. No faster than 20mph as the noise the undertray made on the bumps and stones was horrible. I had to get out and kick away a HUGE pile of horse shit because it was too high for the bumper. Also nicely taken paint off my rear rim catching the arch. Getting up this little hill to get close enough to the water was a bit of work as well, but got up fine. Going to go again in a few weeks when it is far less busy as there is an awesome spot in the middle of the main tourist centre area.

Anyway, let me know what you think. Wheels are BBS Style 19s / RT075s I think, on my staggered barrels, at the moment ET15 8J and ET5 9J, which will be ET0 8J this week when spacers arrive, and yes, there will be more camber on the front this month hopefully with a little less out back.

***** the idea of switching your style 5's in for these up until right now.

If your car had tint, I would **** it.

If the bolts weren't gold, I would **** it.


But wow you really came through and showed some vision. Awesome job.

Looks good, but I liked the yellow centers better.

Dont get me wrong, I love your car but not really feeling these pics, the first few look like you have reverse rake with the rear tucking so much with all the rubber showing up front. The last few look better, cant wait to see it with center caps tho!

I always think having painted lips on splits is a waste of dish and you haven't changed my opinion but the new centres def work much better than i'd imagined. I do like the overall look of the car though especially making 17s work on an e46.

[kanovic]

love the rear fitment. I think the 19s would look better with center caps imo. otherwise looks great!

[fivefourzero]

usually do not like black wheels, especially on black cars. this looks really nice though!

[lister1919]

IMO needs more contrast now....

[Pantyraider]

Don't get me wrong it looks good and love the car, but i really really preferred it back with the yellow centers.
What else you have in store for the e46?

Those gold buttons are nice it gives it a unique touch against the black. I liked your yellow centers a lot though.
