Looking really nice jimbob, clean understated lines, well done !!!!!!!!!

As a side issue, how are you getting on with your Alpina reps ??????

I've got them on mine and have finally run out of patience with them!!, i'm goina bit the bullet ,flog em on ebay, and get some decent wheels that dont wobble at over 70mph.!!

Cheers peeps, Wil as it happens before the engine was even built I got hold of some sideskirts and had them sprayed, still haven't fitted them!

e30-320i - you definately wouldn't know it was a 2.7 with a 318is badge on the back still!

parksie - they're quite bad, but I only travel about 4 miles each day on the dual-carriageway to work and there's no motorways in Dorset, so it's bearable (just) I can understand why you have decided to part with them!

More pics to come at the weekend!

Parksie, buy a new set of spigot rings before parting with them. Mine had some green rings on the hubs and I got some new plastic black ones for Ãƒ”šÃ‚£18 posted. Wobble is still there but barely noticeable, certainly don't look like i'm having a tug with my hand on the wheel now anyway! If you want details of the place I got 'em PM me.

Edit: How rude of me, Jimbob your car looks sweet, I mean really sweet. Understated but purposeful

Does sound like a bit of a bodge...

But at the end of the day they're just to centre the wheels - no force goes through them when the bolts are done up.

Car's lookin cool Jim

I wanna ride!

Post Wed Oct 12, 2005 2:13 pm

I lurve your car Jim, pretty much like mine looks wise but i want that engine

Post Wed Oct 12, 2005 2:34 pm

Does look good, well done that man

Cheers peeps, Wil as it happens before the engine was even built I got hold of some sideskirts and had them sprayed, still haven't fitted them!

Have you thought about just painting the sills? Seen it on a couple of german cars a looks very clean! (though it wouldn't stay clean on a white car....)

Post Wed Oct 12, 2005 6:09 pm

Ziggy, can't go to the meet, mum's birthday.

I don't really like the painted sill look, and also has part of the reason why I haven't fitted my sideskirts yet - the rear end might look a bit too exposed

Was hoping for more pics this weekend but the weather has been naff, managed to get this little beauty done for about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£7 too!

Got some silver paint for the inlet manifold but didn't find time to squeeze it in this weekend!

. lookin good mate

Post Sun Oct 16, 2005 8:47 pm

Wilson you old/young bugger you. run the tape around the hub once more

cause i've always fitted the centering ring into the wheel1st then mounted the wheel, what youre saying is to tape the hub, fit the plastic ring, then bolt the wheel on, well i'll try that tomorrow!!!!!!!

Cheers guys

Very Tasty car mate

Post Sun Oct 16, 2005 9:31 pm

Must admit Jim, does look good mate but much better in the flesh

I've got the se side skirts on mine and it does'nt make the arse end look bare, just subtle

Post Sun Oct 16, 2005 10:34 pm

Yea that looks good mate, I seen you've painted the underside of the rear bumper, might have to give it a go!

Just leave it as it is!
