I liked it when it was on the rota's

[woody m3evo]

Found this pic also from when the car had 16" RS's fitted. :cool

Which has 100% made my decision that i will be getting a set of 16" RS's probably with different colour centres & more lows on the front. ;)

[sCrapp]

i've always loved those wheels it has at the moment.

And hell yeah that thing is gorgeous.

[woody m3evo]

I cant wait any longer so here is a quick teaser pic of what is coming up very soon. ;)

Another quick pic of my Nardi steering wheel that i had refurbed at the same time i got the lips done for the RS's. :cool

Man, I absolutely love this car!

[woody m3evo]

So i finally got around to fitting the new Nardi gearknob & steering wheel after its refurb. :D

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/018-7.jpg

Oh yeah & i fitted these. ;)

[woody m3evo]

Thanks guys. :D

Right so everyone now knows that i have fitted the new 16 inch RS's, so here is a better update all about them. :)

So after finding this set for sale on bmwe21.net & as i was passing Birmingham i thought it would be rude not to stop in & pick them up, a few days later after picking them up they looked like this below.

All split.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/417292_3414729128317_1272747293_3289440_593258759_ n.jpg

Next was paint, always had the colour brown in mind for these wheels but wasnt sure which brown & after seeing a set on Stanceworks which were metallic brown i decided that was the colour to go for, i also wanted a bit more dish on the front as they were only 1 inch lips fitted when bought.

So i ordered these 2 inch lips.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/IMG_5614.jpg

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/IMG_5613.jpg

Then i dropped the wheels off to a mate for a nice new lick of paint, he came over the next & said they were ready to pick up (i said shit that was quick lol).

New paint & lips lined up.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/550106_10150754275400306_516600305_11939283_508162 750_n.jpg

Also while this was being done i dropped the rear 2.5 inch lips off to a local guy for a polish including the centre caps & Nardi steering wheel, one week later when Gareth came around to see me he said he would pick them up for me & turned up with these.

Best £70 ive spent for a while.

The rears polished & lined up.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/IMG_5534.jpg

I also bought these as it would of looked wrong using the olds ones that came with the wheels.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/IMG_5608.jpg

At the same i also bought a bbs centre nut tool,which i love.

More pics of the Nardi refurb.

http://i439.photobucket.com/albums/qq117/villa1979/IMG_5526.jpg

So then ordered up a new set of 195/40 tyres all round,once they were fitted i borrowed a mates ramp to fit the wheels for the first time,just knew it wouldnt be straight forward & as i thought found out that they all need spacing out away from the coilovers they were slightly touching.
As it was just down the road i drove the car home with it rubbing & straight away found a set of 15mm spacers (sorry didnt take a pic) & ordered them up.

So then last weekend i fitted the spacers on the rear & dropped the car as much as i could,the front can not go any lower & im still waiting on the second set of spacers for the front which means the car can run without no problems.

More pics from last weekend.

Im also toying with the idea of the no mirror look but im not sure yet.

More updates when the front spacers turn up & hopefully some decent pics. ;)

[Woodybeefcake]

How legal is it to run no mirrors? This car is stunning, if you don't mind me asking, what would you now value it at?

[P78]

[stinkinrich]

Amazing car, would love to see in person.

[slimadi]

Would look sweet with out mirrors, but i think the MOT peeps will not like :(

No they wouldnt like it mate, might have found a old school chrome set off of a E12 that might work. :)

[Jorge]

What are you doing for mirror plates? I am doing that on the E24
