New wheels & Brakes fitted this weekend

[Maxum]

Spent the day on Saturday fitting new drilled and groved Brake disc's with green stuff pads, and of couse the Spanky new LM Reps
18inc with 225/40/18 ET38 Front and 255/35/18 ET45 rear 8)

The before shot

I stripped down all the Brake calipers last weekend and painted them in Red

Ready for the new larger 300mm Front disc's and Green stuff pads ( As fiited to the 3lt model ) I painted all the hubs of the disc's in silver, and aplired some BMW decals to the calipars 8)

Then on went the new wheels

It has a fair old wheel gap

But with the freshley painted calipares and new disc's the job is getting there

The ride is good, better than i was expecting from the upgrade from the 17inc I just need to sort out that wheel gap which i have a set of Eibach for that little problem, i'm hopeing they do not kill the ride. i will update when that job has been done

Nice job and like the bmw detail on calipars

The paint is just from Halford, brake calipar paint but i also had some blue paint which i mixed with it to darken the red up a tad.
The disc i will have a look and get back to you on that

Also today the wheel gap has now been taken care of, all gone i will update with pictures soon
