Looks nice! What sort of interior does yours have? On a different note, we'll have to try and meet up sometime, have a North East E30 chat/beer! Had a major computer mishap and I've lost your contact details (e-mail / mobile number). Please feel free to pm me if you want to meet up when the weather improves!!!

where did you get your wheels done?

Posted: Fri Mar 03, 2006 5:27 pm
by gcorky
wheels were done locally by a specialist, .they are called romax and are located in teesside.
think one colour powdercoat refurb is 40 p/w
mine were 50 as the rim lips were diamond cut?
i have left my rims bare i.e no laquer as it fades and cracks with age .so i polish mine everytime i use it....lol
belgom alu is good for protection.

ant ive had no turbo fun innnit yet!want the pleasure of installing ms too,with ur help ofcourse lol.
