Think I just need to lower it, put some spacers on the fronts and change the wheel studs for ones that aren't rusty! Hope you like it, I do

Good job. Very nice wheels. Did you affix the side skirt decals yourself or have it done?

Looks great, and it'll look even better with a drop.
Very Nice wheels on an AW f10. Are you running 245 + 285 tyres?

When the wheels came they had 40 new studs in the box, 20 of them being the wrong thread but I managed to put the right ones to use today. Bought a can of plastic bumper spray in dark grey from Halfords and set about painting them, I know it'll come off but they look better than the original ones did and the lockers didn't need too much wire brush. Quite surprised with the colour match too, it's not far off at all.

Awesome. Love this car. would these wheels fit a 2013 LCI F11?
Would love that set up on mine. Do you mind me asking where you got the wheels from and how much you paid? Cheers, Michael |

I'm not sure if you can easily go with 10" at ET35 on an F11 rear. Someone should be able to help out here I'll PM you the details. Cheers |

Thanks mate ive ordered the stripes off ebay. Is it easy enough to get the right angle etc. Any tips?
my car is pretty similar to yours white and black my repeaters are already black. Im thinking I may just have enough space to put the stripes on the side of the repeaters too. |

Fit the stripes with the grille removed and also remove the slats from inside the main outer grille frame, makes it much easier. I just guessed with the angle if I'm honest. Hardest bit is getting the second and third tapes to run butt up to the one next to it. Just trim them off with a Stanley blade on the back edge top and bottom. They'll withstand a good jet wash, mine have. I had contemplated the same with the repeaters by sticking the stripes on but was going to then vinyl wrap over the whole lot in this smoke Matt translucent stuff I got from eBay. I've still not made my mind up yet. I'll wait until I've seen yours Cheers |

Looks lovely, very similar to my own car.
You going for white rear lights? I have them on mine and personally think they look great on a white car. Might have to order the tape for the grille, nice touch.
