Thanks for url, what i can see from pictures i think those wheels need new paintwork.. paint is not so shiny and clean anymore.
And price is too much for "project" alloys. I had one set in consideration november but i then i forget it.. too much money going on cars.
Maybe i just keep style 32, and if i have my Z4 next year this time then i look another alloy wheels.

Have really enjoyed reading through your postings - great work and your Zed looks fabulous. :thumbsup:

Have 32s on my Zed as winter wheels (in black). have had many people say they like them - I'm still not sure. They are 6.8lbs lighter than the originals I use in summer - that's a total of 27 lbs saved.

Hi paul and thanks for your comment. I try to keep it good and prep it for next summer season so i dont have to spend summer in garage, drive and wash only..
I have that feeling about style 32 too, i dont know if they look good. Style 108 would be much better in my mind.. (expensive..)

Cleaned petrol filler cap area..

I first vacuum cleaned roof, it was so clean. Only dust off.
Then protected and applied Gtechnic Smart fabric. I left car in the garage, +16C and dry. Should be good conditions for that protectant to dry 8)

Hi, that garage is not my own.. i am only renting it. And it is only from 1.6km from my home so i can walk there :)
Do you mean fabric protection?
It was sprayed on..

Some little updates

I put my vanos job parts ready for march. Unfortunately i dont know day when we will do it, but it is now scheduled to march.

Image

Last week i bought set of 108 which need some work, i will collect that set of wheels saturday.

Image

Image

I will get those alloys powder coated like these.
-Sandblasting
-Chrome powder for alloy/lip
-Gunmetal powder for center parts
-Clear lacquer
-New BMW Emblems.

What you say...? Or should i just go silver powder for complete wheels?
