New lips from Felgen Fuchs in Germany. Great quality and speedy service for made to order items!
Sealed up the front pair. I think these will suit the car perfectly.
Also grabbed an Alpina wheel from Daddywad which was promptly cleaned up and restored.
Other than that, been stripping off some of the sound deadening on the strut towers and poking holes in the metal work. No pictures of that, there's enough rust on the forum as it is!

wheels look great !
I agree. Cool, classy wheels.
Great job on the steering wheel! I like the wheels also but I wouldn’t run Alpina center caps.
Roughly £150-200 i've been quoted. And thats the plan! I don't intend on selling it so originality isnt a big concern or care for me. Lost all the originality with the manual swap anywayJust wondering what it cost to rewrap a wheel in the U.K. ? Ps run what ever wheel caps you want it's yours
Mine had a Dodge front bumper as a airdam and it looked pretty good to me
Thanks! To be honest i'm still chopping and choosing ideas, and had these spare. Dont like the compomotive centres, might keep them on, might not. We'll see.

I agree, whatever works or whatever you have on hand. I brought it up because I just went through the process. I also have 20 spoke wheels that look kind of like Alpinas but aren’t really Alpinas.
I think they look great but wheels are like shoes. Everyone needs at least a few sets. You have options for face swaps which is njce. My wheels have a proprietary size face.
What wheels are you running?
16x7, 16x8 Weds Bavaria’s (two piece)
20 bolt? These wheels are 16" 20 bolt Compomotives, but BBS Motorsport hardware fits perfectly. The lips were made to order by Felgen Fuchs in Germany.
Image wheels here in the UK also make custom centres if you ever fancy a change.
Yeah unfortunately Weds don’t use BBS motorsport parts. Hardy & Becks do though. I can still have lips made for $150 a corner. I’m just happy to have newer tires frankly. I’m not sure about you but I can see the road when I look at my feet. Even the rusty cars tend to look pretty on the outside so it’s easy to devote time to wheels and what not.

I can see the tyres from the cockpit if that counts?
I'm just getting all the bits mocked up on the car before it gets all stripped down. Next on the list is the suspension, which is going to be a GAZ coilover set up, and billet aluminium calipers + 2 piece brake discs with aluminium bells from Hispec
Bit of modification to the light buckets
Means that with some hacking of the lights, E30 Projectors fit. E28 Euro inner light surrounds, uses the original E9 light adjusters with the upper adjuster moved to the bottom.
Need to work out a location for the headlight tension spring and weld tabs onto the rear projector housing as they stick out at a 90 and foul the E9 light tub.

Sampling the Alpina type spoiler from Zaprace.
The eagle eyed amongst you can also see my projectors now fitted inside the E30 Ellipsoid lights.
Made a start on the passenger side light too.
