Wheels, sill decals and grilles

FRG · 03-22-2014, 09:57 AM

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

Cheers

Dave

Have you thought of the black eyebrows for the lights or tint?

What wheels are they? Using HR springs?
.
Very nice vehicle mate! Might change my order to white!

poolie · 03-22-2014, 10:53 AM

Looks mint that mate.. were did you get the stickers for the grill?

JLR1969 · 03-22-2014, 11:25 AM

Really nice motor..

EZDozzit · 03-22-2014, 11:54 AM

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

camnhoj · 03-22-2014, 12:02 PM

Very very nice sir

JustChris · 03-22-2014, 12:43 PM

Great look! +1 for what wheels are they, sweet.

remmib · 03-22-2014, 02:06 PM

Looks great, and it'll look even better with a drop.

Very Nice wheels on an AW f10.
Are you running 245 + 285 tyres?

FRG · 03-22-2014, 02:37 PM

Thanks. I think I'll leave it once lowered and spacers are on. Wheels are Breyton Race GTS 8.5x20 and 10x20 ET35 all round. I think I'm going to go with Eibach as I really do only want it down by 15mm or so.

Local vinyl wrapper and detailer did it for me. I trust him more than I would the dealer to do it, he 'refreshed' my old E46 CS last year: http://pwpro.co.uk/portfolio/bmw-m3#.Uy3lGq1_seM

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.

FRG · 03-23-2014, 04:45 PM

Photoshoped the car to be lowered a little, darker surround for the side repeater and a de-chrome on the door handles (back to white). I need to carry these things out as I really like the look.

MickyD'bo · 03-23-2014, 04:52 PM

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

Thanks.

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

The F11 do has a different rear suspension with slightly less room, but I've see BBS CH-R 20x10.5 ET35 on the F11 so these will fit too.

poolie · 03-25-2014, 05:49 AM

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.

Glad you managed to get some.

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

poolie · 03-25-2014, 06:32 AM

Ok mate no worries soon as I get the stripes and fit then il get pics on asap.

thanks for your help.

The Beast · 03-25-2014, 12:42 PM

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.
