Newbie!!! + Wheel refurb!!

    Hello all at 8er!!

    Well, this is my 2nd 840 and i must say, i had forgotten (almost!) how good they really are. ( i sold my last one 3 years ago )
    Can i just say, im still navigating the site and getting used to it, but what a great forum!! I will be on, and chatting from now on.
    i have listed a few pics of my new 840 under 'my albums', i bought her 3 weeks before xmas 08, plate was included.

    Now then, id like to refurb my wheels, they are not in too bad a state really, no real deep 'pits' if you know what i mean, i would like to keep the polished alloy look, any idea who does a good job?? Any info/advice would be great.
    Ive also been told that only 35 were painted in 'veilchenblau metallic' any more info on this????
    Looking forward to speaking with you all.

    Very nice indeed Pete and a rare colour indeed. Looks in great conditions and from the pics, the alloys look in pretty healthy condition as it is!

    Well wear and welcome. More pics please :mrgreen:

    Cheers

    Warm Welcome


    Hey Guys,

    What a warm welcome you all have gave me, thanks everyone.

    I have found a guy in Leeds who can refurb polished alloys, im going to send mine there, so ill let you know how much, and of course, the quality of the work. He has quoted 45.00 per wheel, for a polished finish so ill see what happens and let you all know.

    You,ve all got really nice cars and i'll have to bring mine into line.

    I waxed mine this afternoon and pics will be on in the morning at the latest.

    Also, ive found an ex BMW guy in Huddersfield who is very very experienced with 8'ers, mine is also booked in there for some suspension bushes and arms, again, ill let you all know.

    Watch this space.

    Speak soon.

    Pete.:mrgreen:
