This is looking perfect lately.
Headlights look a bit foggy? Could just be the pics.
Wheels are spot on, but could you not get a shorter tyre valve? Or would that not work with the dish?

Headlamps need restoring. Passenger side one is fine, drivers side is very cloudy.
Never really thought about shorter tyre valves tbh i've never noticed it.

Finally completed my badge replacement today, after getting some centre caps.
Whilst the wheels were off, I took the opportunity to clean the calipers up. Need repainting really, but I have no free weekends for a while due to work so they'll have to wait.
Ignore the roof, it's fucked. Need a new one.

Cheers matthew. I am happy with everything except the roof tbh. Don't want to do any more cosmetic stuff apart from that.
Brakes need doing and i've been looking to upgrade them with the larger 325mm front discs and calipers, but haven't found any yet.

Finally got these overpriced bits of plastic through the post. They're pretty pointless from a practical point or view, but they look good and will only be put on when i'm out all day with the roof down and for photo's.
They were from a group buy done via a German BMW dealer. They had 18 sets left in grey, so we bought them all. They're pretty rare. I will be spraying them black as the grey looks out of place.

£70 Gav. They seem to sell for more than £100 now, which is ridiculous.
Roof fabric is indeed shagged waiting on a price for a new one.
