Hi, I am trying to get the euro look on my cab, smoothed off one side, still got the other side to do. Going to fit borbet A wheels 16"x9". It will be going in for a full respray. What do you think so far?

The wheels that are going on will look like the ones below. They shouldnt sick out. I would keep the BBS 15" wheels but they wont fit because I have got bigger brakes.

Thanks it wasnt easy I had to make end caps and weld them on and then weld the bumper together.
The front one I dont know if to do way with the indicators in the bumper and put them in the headlights.

Cant wait to see that bumper sprayed up. Nice work ed. I like the idea of having the indicators in the headlamps to. Nice touch.

The thing I am worried about putting the indicators in the headlamps is seeing them when the headlamps are on.
I was going to put the indicators at the top of the headlamp instead of the parking light.

Can you take a picture of the caby strut top reinforcing plate please ? As the wings are off you can see how they are attached to the inner wings.

I was thinking of fitting some of these plates when i get a strut brace, belt and braces/over kill but might be worth it ?

That's a pity Ed,
but I'm glad all is not lost and a 335i is still planned! :D

Shouldn't take you too long if you have most of the parts! ?

Cheers, looks like they are spot welded to the inner wings ?

No shouldn't take long, the car I am getting has had the engine removed already so that is one less thing to do.
How is yours going ?

Its to late half of its been sold now, It was cheaper to get a good shell and start again.

That sounds like good news then!

Mine has had a few teething troubles and I'm still doing a lot of work on it but generally I'm very happy with it! :D

Good luck with your's!

S38b36 nice ! :cool:

Looks like they will fit OK, Ԛ£15 per side isn't expensive either
