No pics as I was rushed for time, but over the course of 3 days:

Drove from London to Aberdeenshire
Removed the rear bumper, arch liner and eventually the n/a rear quarter panel (after many hours of swearing at the hidden bolt)
Slotted the replacement wing in, and reassembled everything
Fixed the broken rear number plate lights and fixed the faulty parking sensors
T-Cutted all the rubber deposits from the accident off my n/s including the wheels
Found out about the micro-switch in the boot and how it operates (and how to disassemble and reassemble it)
Washed and polished it
Left it in Aberdeenshire as I had to return to London at short-notice; hopefully means when I go back to pick it up the weather will be much better up there and I can drive down the Cairngorms with the top down.

Looks nice. Hard work?

How much are they through BMW? Seen them for £70 each on the BMW eBay store.

Would these right to replace with?

Took me about 90mins including some rust treatment I needed to do. Not particularly hard if you have the tools. I used oem dust shield and myele hd hub bearings. I’d check the part numbers though to be sure

Could you do me a favour? Take a photo just of wheels, I'm liking the contrast and it's something that could work on my coupe.
