Michael. 2313 Report post Posted September 25, 2010 No pictures up just yet James, will have a build thread of the whole procedure very soon. Car as always is looking awesome Josh. That is EXACTLY how I want my next E36 Coupe to look, in a similar Silver - Gray colour or the traditional M3 blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stick with some nice 17s or 18s if you're buying new I reckon ... Jono has some mean deals. I was thinking about getting my wheels powder coated black ... $110 per wheel with fixing the minor curbing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted September 26, 2010 got any pointers on polishing the style 5's? did you just remove bolts,jack car up them spin it that way? Kk have a tip. Instead of using a nail punch to knock out the bolts, take off all the adapters from your socket extension once taking off the nuts, place the extension over the bolt end so it stays on the bolt. Wail on the extension end with a hammer til pop the bolts out, this way you won't slip and hit the wheel/other bolts like I've seen in other DIY's. K that's all my hands hurt from scrubbing/sanding/paint stripper burns... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
