MickB3 - very nice!!

The car looks awesome. I had some trouble with the centre caps after my wheel refurb. The laquer layer was too thick and the centre caps just wouldnt go on.

I would really love to see more pictures of your car. It looks great.

Cheers.

I also had to take off a little paint on the inside lip to get the centres on.
Nothing to the detriment of the look of the wheels.

Here is a couple more from the other day.
New tyres and BMW badges (ALPINA ones yet to fit)
I am sure the gold calipers will split opinion :D but i like them. I am going to have a gold ALPINA logo on the front.
I am waiting for the O rings for the wheel lock covers, although i quite like the look without.

Brilliant. I am sure that I placed a few bids on B3 DOH on Ebay a few years ago. Were you selling it at one stage?

Very Nice Mick. From memory a W plate which makes it 20 years old this year?

Also can your refurb company take 20 inch alloys as I know they do a replacement set option to get you mobile whilst the wheels are refurbed etc?
