This thread is just pure pornography. Dude your work is amazing love every little bit you do. Your attention to detail is just astounding.

once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. :D

Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem.

You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts.

Here some pictures of the rims, wich are now black.

After a lot of sanding, they were painted Titansilver on the outside.

Once it was all dry, I taped off a little lane of 3mm. Then everything got coated black, the same black as my moldings.

Once the tape was removed, enough layers of varnish were added, to it's all equal and tight.

Front rims are 19x8,5 with a 235x35x19 et35.

Back is 19x9,5 with a 265x30x19 et 45.

In the rear I also added a spacer of 6mm, to have it just wide enough as I wanted it to be.

Off course, she rubbed in the back, so I worked on the body a bit so the tires didn't touch anymore

The carbon fibre dust-caps are 1mm removed from the rims. Off course this it TOO close,

So I guess I'll have to make new ones :)

I made 4 carbon plates for the new dustcovers.

These will be 10mm smaller then the inner side of the wheels. Front and rear there’s 12mm difference in the diameter.

This is a fiberglass plate.

After that I milled to rings in MDF with the right diameter and milled out the carbon plates.

The Boomerangs are gone, and I made it all flow together with the form of the caliper.

Once this was all finished, I could start milling the aluminium parts I needed.

First I mounted the fiberglass plate on the new rings I ordered, but then again, it was the same as those before.

So I made something out of aluminium myself.

I milled some pieces of aluminium, too many to name them all.

Used a bearing to mill it perfectly round.

Because the plate was so small, I mounted it onto a slat, so I was sure I’ll have all my vingers afterwards…

This was the result after many hours of labour.

The other aluminum plate what you see lying in the middle is to serve as a model. This I will make in carbon fibre

Meanwhile, I’vebeen busy. The paint of the BMW has been cleaned to the extreme.

This time I have not done it myself. If I had to buy all the products again, I could let someone clean it for me, and still pay less.

A friend of mine is a professional and knows what he’s doing.

I’ll take the time later on to post some pictures, and give some info on what products he used. I was impressed with the result.
