As some of u may or may not know i recently purchased a 4 pipe e46.

its a 2002 pre-facelift. manual Carbon blk with cinnamon interior. I personaly think the combo wrks well.

I took delivery of the car last week tues and immediately went about getting some trinkets for the car.

I was lucky enough to get the car with 19 csl Reps but they were in blk chrome, so i was not really digging them that much.

I got me a nice set of tein lowering springs, sent the car into zeemax for a nice service. While she was there they fitted the lowering kit and did a decat as well.

I played around wit another set of rims BBS 19

but for some reason it just did not grab me.


I found out kabal was selling his BBS LMs and i immediately jumped and bought them.
Kabal had them in a grey anthracite, but the color was not gonna wrk on my car.

The rims looked dull
So i decided a custom job was needed.

Grey rims flatted and all spots repaired along wit only 2 curb damage.

All done and looking new.
Wit some advice from a friend i went with a gloss blk lip, and a satin blk centre. Something different but i must admit, it does look damn good and u can actually see the difference between the 2 blk colors.

a few other things will be done in the week to come, then i will be done with the cosmetics.

And all of this was done in 5 days

i managed to source a set of original BBS red centre caps (thanks to my cousin)

kabal unfortunately had no cosmetic nuts in, but luckily i had 100 bbs original nuts lying around. once fitted the rim showed its true classiness

kind of sad that they went from beautiful gunmetal to boring black :)

they still do look great on the car, black on black is a sweet combo :thumbsup:

just really not a fan of the centre caps.

oh yah, now you need to take me for a drive so I can hear the straight pipe decat :)
