[shazE30]

hello all im going to soon be refubishing my alpina rep's so was

wondering if any1 had any suggestions........keep it sensible but take into

concideration my cab is white! I have been a advised black is the way to

go but some1 was on about a black and polished combo so any1 got pics

of the kinda thing i do would really help cheers

Ive just attempted to have my BBS alloys refurbished....

little tip....

1. make sure you have the wheels acid dipped to remove paint ....do not have them shot blasted. After acid dipping , you need to have the wheels sand blasted.
2. if you are contemplating having your wheels powder coated...make sure you find a decent company and second make sure every bit of rust is removed... becuase the powder coating reacts with rust....aparently.
3. pay particular attention to the place on your wheels where the weight balances go... good prep work needed.

as you can see from up above , mine have turned into a nightmare and im having to have the powder coat acid dipped to remove.....and they used the wrong colour...


nothing ever goes to plan for me.
