Dropped 6 alloys off at city powder coaters.
Should be done in 3-4 days.
How much out of curiousity? Do they still do them for a ridiculous £25/wheel?
£20 a wheel in Anthracite.
I have 6 as I bought two from eBay for under £50. Turns out they were in need of a simple refurbish and some powder.
They will be stored incase of pot holes
Be good to see the finish, I'm contemplating taking my S2000 wheels there and tempted to take my Noble spare wheels there tooDropped 6 alloys off at city powder coaters.

Fitted a spoiler
Spoiler looks good but what is going on with that exhaust?!

Love the way it almost looks like they've got a turbo roller shutter set up
I wanted the duplex style exit the E90 335d had and the 335i/340i has.
Cost me nothing from cobra exhausts
Broke it...
Found that both sides ball joints had perished. Well the rubber around them had.
So I set about fitting new control arms as it does the ball joint and bushes in one go.
Found that the parts I bought were made badly by Japan parts and brackets were 7mm off on one bolt.. very poor show.
So cars on stands. I'm sun burnt due to spending 3 hours trying to get bolt to fit.
Will have to cycle to local motor factors for different brand arms... -.-

Chip turned into a crack up from the base of the screen to eye level in front of driver. Fun times due to the heat I guess
they do free exhausts now?
yeh if they need a devopment car for an upcoming system they are making
Aftermarket exhausts like that are proper good on a £1500 E46 but look silly on a £20k F30. If you wanted exhausts like that buy a 335i?

It looks oem, doesn't look aftermarket. Only people who know about 335d's will know mine has been modified
Plus i do too many miles for a 335i
It looks aftermarket. The only people who won't notice are those who won't care anyway
nah they'll think it looks good
