I reckon Ferric Grey would work best...

Shadow Chrome works well on darker cars; but it's quite shiny and not sure that'll work well with white...

Agree - ferric is the OEM sport plus colour isn't it? I had to have ours refurbed as they kept losing air and they came back much darker than I expected, sadly ...

There are 2 versions of Ferric IIRC; one lighter and one a bit darker

Then there's Orbit Grey

The original wheels were Ferric Grey.

My drivers side seal is torn. Where and how much if you
mind my asking?

I just order from the main dealer. OEM parts are always the best with regards to fit/quality. Complete door rubber is £130. Will have the number when it arrives on Wednesday.

Always had anthracite on my previous white cars. Was thinking that this style wheel suits a lighter/silver colour. Need to try and find some pics with them a bit darker. Still not 100% on what colour to go.

Wheels are boked in for the 12th December. Going to get the callipers refurbed/painted and the disc bells at the same time. All done then. Looks like the front end paint will have to be in the New Year now.

Sounds good; looking forward to seeing the results

Can’t wait. New SS exhaust on the 8th. It’s the only thing letting the back end down!

You're not hanging around, this will surely be one of the best 320d's in the country by the time you're finished with it!

The offending item.



The plan it is have it looking like new again. Anything worn or damaged will be replaced.
Doubt now I’ll get the front end painted in December. Will have to be the New Year. Looking forward to the exhaust/wheels/remap now.

Coat of Collinite NO.845 on it. First day it hasn’t rained since picking it up.

Engine bay has had a second coat of Perl. I let the first coat soak in. Don’t think the bay had been done before. It’s about where I want it now. Few marks on the front plastic piece so I think I’ll get a new one ordered



Compared to how it was.

Are you going for a dual pipe exhaust like the six pots had?

The car is looking well. The E91 is a good looking thing.

Twin tips, but in the standard position. Below is from BCS site.

That’ll look much nicer than the single oval tip.

New seal fitted now and all the kick plates done.

More spending today at the main dealer. New bonnet badge, tailgate badge, 4 new centre caps, 4 new gel badges (ready for the refurb next week) and also ordered a new front screen. I’d missed the crack in this one when viewing it and only noticed driving home Looks like it’s already had a replacement at some point. It’s a Fuyao one that’s fitted, not a factory Pilkington one.

The centre caps are bloody expensive for what they are as are the gel badges but they do last so much better than the eBay specials.

I didn’t think the genuine centre caps were that bad. £52.80 for 4. I’ve previously bought genuine BBS centre caps and paid more than that for 1 Must have been mad, thinking about it now. BBS tax I suppose.
