[andreia]

I have started cleaning the bbs with t cut and a tooth brush today, done one wheel and it took me an hour, dident have the patiance to do the other three( i need something electric with a small brush on) and iv put them on. Iv also done the front grille with Auto glim vinyl and ruber care and attached a small badge. Some pics

They come with two litle screws just buy some longer ones and drill the grill where you want to fit them

Thats Stunning, theres something about a black chromie, whatever the model, 15"BBS totally transform the looks of any E30.

Definatly BBS, it was just a mad moment with the 17`s

[ChelseaBoy]

Ahhh Mate, this car has a sunroof too...I looked for ages to find a black chromie with a sunroof....they are just soooo rare. Well done, it really is looking the part now. If mine looks half as good when its done, I'll be happy with that

Most people look for a non-sunroof due to the roof rusting on sunroof models.

tis true, i had to close mine today as the rust flakes were falling on my head

[ETERNITY]

WOW

That looks nice

Next time your in the area I want a spin

[ChelseaBoy]

I guess rust can be sorted o n sunroofs, its certainly not the end of the world. If anyone here has a black chromie with a sunroof, let me know

once the rust gets into the sunroof tray the car is a goner unless you fancy having the roof replaced. my car has a sunroof ( tech1 sport ) but one of the first things I done was removed the headlining and checked the roof skin for rust and thankfully there was none to be found

[ChelseaBoy]

Must be 2 door coupe though

[jbh]

what have you got the now?

[ChelseaBoy]

I have 2 door 325i se but its 89 plate, not a chromie. At the bodyshop having a full respray done right now.......

[chris432626]

Those wheels look much better, a very nice car.

Mine dosent have any rust on the sunroof, the body is far from perfect but il drive it this summer and will have it resprayed in the winter

Good idea mate, you might want to have it re-chromed again too. Lucky guy, I'll definitely be calling you once my car comes out, it would be interesting to see the comparisons between the facelift and the chromie side by side....

[Tedswagon]

What a transformation. Looks cool.

I'd move the badge down a wee bit - maybe 2 or three louvers to have it half way between the top and bottom of the grill. That is where most M badges are.

Very cool tho and no rust!!
