Wheels almost done and roll hoops to match in dark shaddow chrome, also ordered the plexi glass to make a wind blocker, clear rear lights ordered, BMW scanner software arrived today so will give that a go over the weekend.

Wheels look awesome, as do the roll hoops. Clear rears will really smarten up the back end, we need more pictures!
I think I will wait until its complete before posting more pics in a decent surrounding

Doesn't need a decent surrounding, no one is looking at that it's the car we want to see :party:
A sneak preview, got it on stands again as I am going to have another look at the brakes, just couldn't resist trying a wheel, getting the tyres fitted tomorrow
Oh and I am 4 of the titanium studs short, think I left them with the first engineering company
The wheels are darker then what I wanted as they look virtually black but I think they will work

They will look great against the black of the interior trim and the chin splitter mate. Bang on.

There's always the bus mate, think of the weight saving of that extra seat :whistle:

Did I get away with that :D

Yeah your right, it really doesn't look good with that background. Time to change the paint and get them wheels sorted ;)

I think you made the right choice going dark with the wheels, for some reason I don't think silver would stand out as much against the colour of the body. They tie in nicely with the black splitter and kidney grills. Just imagine how good it would look with a black hardtop!

Done the hardtop thing, I would love to see it with one though, had another go at the brakes today, gravity bled them all over the full day and still no pedal, its the only thing stopping me now, I am wasting too much time on them so I am going to get the other bits done then take it to a mates garage to see if he can sort them.

It gives a completely different look with one, would love to see one on it. Unless you use it often though they are a bit thing to store and an expense that could be spent elsewhere. Sounds like your having a right game with them, hopefully your mate will find the solution straight away.
