Cress 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 This is my new car, i decided i wanted to downsize from the 7 series. I got it cheap from a mate of mine, as you can tell by the condition it is in. However, all of the suspention bushes were replaced, buy the previous owner just before he sold it to me. The 7 series has become the doner for it. So it is my intent to get her back to into shape. with a bit of TLC, i may get there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cress 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2009 I put the wheels of the 7 on the 5, i have just put a new bonnet on it, and gave the whole car a cut and polish. It has made it very nice looking, i just have small dents, scratchs and that primer spot to fix up an the body work will be complete. I have the fog lights yet to install, thats a job from tomorrow night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted June 21, 2009 Looking good Dave. Amazing what a difference the cut and polish makes Brent had (don't know if still does) a mint red leather interior for an E34 - would look so pimp red on red As for the wheels, leave the original centres for the 17" Style 5's as they are. Especially if you go down the road of selling them or the car one day, a purist would prefer to buy with original centres Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cress 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 Those wheels use to be on Simons 540, when my flatmate use to own it. They come in a set of 5 We had a look at the original docs from when the first owner purchased the car, they were a 4 grand option. From memory. I wont be letting go of them for a while, but everyone has their price.... I think i am going to be going with simon on this one...keep them as is.

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted June 22, 2009 i dont think the basket weave centre would actually match up exactly...whatever you do make sure you keep the originals to go with the wheels when(if) you sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
