So picked up the wheel yesterday morning and after work decided to give it a good clean and referb the trim and buttons :)

I have ordered a new BMW badge for the centre since i had never changed it from buying the car.

looks good, bet your well chuffed with such an improvement for such low money!

what did you use to refurb your worn spoke covers? mine need doing so might give them a quick spruce up before i finally get rnd to carbon wrapping sometime in the future...
 
Hi Jungle,

I considered wrapping along with the new dash trim in carbon but wasn't 100% sure.

I just P600 wet and dry sanded any marks smooth and then painted with a plastic base spray paint I had.

Yup, couldn't be happier :) well maybe when my new black dash trim is installed :driving: :driving: :driving:

Looks good- you don't need a new badge- that m one will just be stuck on top of the original!

OOOO i will have to pop out when it stopped raining and check that :thumbsup:
 
Looks good mate - especially the spokes -- now officially jealous 'cause mine need doing & I'm a complete wally when it comes to practical stuff. :)
 
Sorry mate! Hope I haven't caused u to make a mess of your wheel. Surprised to see it couldn't be as the originals as far as I know can't be taken off as they are integral to the airbag?!
 
Not quite sure why the bmw badge isn't underneath that monstrosity of an M badge. Very odd. You can buy overlay badges anyway, so just get a bmw one online and put that over the top.

Great bargain you've had there.
 
Ordered one of these yesterday - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171744011587?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
