It's low? Not sure what you mean Quote:
Thank you! Never heard of HRE, couldn't find anything on Google when I looked? Quote:
Well I've managed to get myself a deal on four Pirellis. Chris recommended 235/35 for the front and 265/30 for the rear, and finding matching tyres in that size was more difficult that I thought... They will hopefully be fitted on Friday If anyone has some good tips or products for taking care of the diamond turned face I'd love to hear from you!

Not many pictures fitted to anything. I can't wait to see what they look like. Get those tyres sorted!! |

Long story short Sam, everywhere is closed by the time I've finished work
I'm finishing a bit early on Friday to get them fitted. Fingers crossed for no rain!

I just spent part of the evening carefully applying GTECHNIQ C5 to all four of them. Expensive stuff. First time I use it, so time will tell if it was £22 well spent. I used the entire 15ml on the four wheels, did the whole wheel (except for where the tyre goes), not just the face. Dropping off the wheels at the tyre place after work tomorrow, and then going to get them fitted on Friday

In other news, I dropped the wheels off at the fitting place today, and fingers crossed the tyres will be there on time and they'll be fitted tomorrow! I wish I'd bought some wheel bolts as my existing ones are pretty nasty One more for the list! I hope so! I read up before buying it, and the reviews on detailingworld seemed very positive.

Well I'll cut to the chase - everything fitted by Henry at Spa Tyres this afternoon and he is an absolute gentleman, strongly recommended
Alloys are 100% mark-free and he put the weights as far as possible behind the spokes so they are not too visible. Might have to get them painted silver though, as they still stand out. I knew I'd never be sure about these until they were fitted, and I'm relieved to say that I'm delighted All shots from my phone, apologies for quality, I intend to do some proper shots when I get some time. Here's a before and after: Henry explained that the suspension will take a few miles to settle as the car was on the ramp, so it should get a little lower. I'm very happy with how well they show off my painted brakes: But less happy about the bolts; don't know if they're just proper filthy but they look black! I'll need to get some nice silver ones - one more thing for the list And that's me done for this year, perhaps with the exception of tints and my number plate if funds allow. The drop will be for early next year. Hope you like them One last question - should I keep the OEMS centre caps, or replace them with some BMW ones?

To be honest, I wasn't completely sure until I saw them fitted either. BMW centre caps was my original gut feel. Now I'm undecided. The usual Blue/White badge, or Black/White? Too many options!
