Needs the GB number plates ditching winkeye winkeye
Cheers, these 14" BBS are recently refurbed and mint, but am planning on putting bottletops on to keep it original.

The plates will be coming off soon, just gotta find the original signage and get pukar to make em up.

Not too sure TBH. The pirellis are mint so might put them on the bottletops. Is gonna be a month or so for me to get myself together and get the bottletops sorted tho, I just came home on Saturday so am just chilling and recharging for a while!!!

If I gave up driving my touring because it might pick up a couple of stone chips I would sell it. Its not worth owning if you don't drive it.
This is my touring after a trip to Le Mans. It later went on to be featured by Total BMW magazine. Bit of dirt/stone chip does not matter it can be fixed
