Oem 16" Alpina rims next will be blasting them and restoring them over this weekend
.does anyone have caps?

i saw a guy on the Facebook group "BMW E30 Common problems and E36 plus solutions and sales" selling some caps......

maybe a good place to start, just a warning, the group has alot of rubbish in between some good stuff.

Appreciate the heads up. Will check it out

Or maybe I shall cast my own. I'll see tomorrow. I don't have a vacuum chamber so it's time consuming. I'll fiddle tomorrow at work.

Crazy workmanship here :bravo:

Are there also supposed to be covers for the 5 screws on the lower spoiler portion?

Bright silver screw heads look a bit out of place there

Thank you guys. No covers, it is supposed to be black.They where a bit rusty so I just ran them on scotchbrite. I will dip them in blackening solution this weekend.

Hello. The blackening solution is a pasivation liquid that will protect you zink plated bits from corrosion and give it that black look you see in most bolts and nuts as well as the bmw wheel bolts you speak of. Attached is the company you can purchase it from you can get it in 1L bottles. Just fill up a container and throw in your bolts. Make sure they are cleaned well. Don't sand them down to the point where the zink plating comes off. It won't look even or even catch on bare metal. Hope this info is useful. Be sure to show is the outcome.
