Love the wheels......I bet they're a SOB to clean though! I hate doing the MSport Style 135M ones on our E46 as they take about 10mins each because of the narrow sections. Those BBS one do look the part though....

I take it one of your 'project phases' will be to get the shine back on the paint? Has the boot lid been redone with rattle cans, or did it have a close encounter with a pan scrubber?

I take it from the pic that it was a rattle finish.
Bet I was fun to flatten and polish. Any 50/50 pics?

Never mind, you'll just have to post a completed one. Satisfying when you do a job like that isn't it ;D

Never tried machine polishing - I expect after 3 hours I would have got the 'polished steel' look....

I've always loved these, not sure if there would be much use of one with the roof down though.
You one looks spot on.
