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

Style 108 were in the balancing machine yesterday and i have some bad news. 
All 4 wheels are some kind of damaged, one of the alloys needs little welding too. Other 3 are not perfectly round. I took all alloys for special shop who fix alloys.
They have 3-4 week waiting list so there is not any hurry any more with these wheels..
After alloys are fixed, next step is sandblasting & powdercoating. Color scheme will be chrome/gunmetal or silver/chrome. I have to drink couple of pints and think about it.
Brakes arrived today from Germany, approx 125£ for complete package 8)
All genuine OEM ATE

That's a bummer about your wheels, were they cheap enough to pay for repairs ?
Or can you take them back to whoever you bought them from, if they were advertised as being damage free
108 are quite rare here in Finland, and those were the first set i found for sale. Seller did not know if the wheels are straight or not, so in fact those were not sold as damage free set of wheels.
Price was not bad for set of BBS 2-piece 18" alloys in first place, but i think those will be quite expensive when finished.
I would not return this set because i would like to have style 108 for my Z4 and those are so difficult to find here..

Yep.. i think we know more about 108 when 1 month have passed..That alloy fix shop has 3-4 week waiting list, this is the time of the year when they have lot of work.
You can check online prices from http://www.profiteile.de , that is my loyal supplier of parts. I dont know the postage price for UK.
If you dont know German, google chrome autotranslates it
There is a lot of love being put in that car. Nice to see that.
