E70 Carbon Black New Ferric Grey Wheels

Post by Bob1098R » Sun Mar 31, 2013 3:59 pm

The sun nearly came out today so i got a few pics of the car , the wheels are now Ferric grey,They have turned out really well but it's highlighted the terrible state of the brake calipers, has anyone painted theirs or offer any advice on preparation ?, I'll need to paint them a dark colour i think, nothing too flash,
The bottom pic shows the Lux H8 mod.

Cheers,
Bob.

Another positive vote for the wheels, look really nice.

Like the Lux upgrade - picking mine up from snipez after Easter, can't wait!

Looking great mate. Thinking of getting my alloys refurbed as one has a slight graze on it. Guy at the garage reckons dark grey on light grey X5 will look the business.

I'm still undecided.

Looking good.

Must invest in some nice H8's as I really don't like the yellow look.
