I may have wired up the wrong side yeah, but I was just doing it quick to see what it would look like.

I think the way the old ones work is the inside one is full beam and the outside one is the main beam.

Cheers for the reminder wink

I think both might be projectors too.

Fitted the new wheels to the rear, will put the front ones on hopefully tomorrow after the front is lowered (If it's not raining again)

Thanks to Daz for the lift thumbsup

Lookin good that matey; the arches look a bit wide for the wheels though, is there any trim that can be put on to circumvent this?

How much was it lowered by?

Still amazed at your will to keep working on it after so long off the road, keep it up matey, will be great in summer!!

Cheers Daz an Matt

I thought the arches are wide too, thats why I got 17's. They fill the gap more than the 15's, but any bigger and it'd cost me a fortune on tyres and plus it would rub.

It's lowered by 35mm on the back and I have 40mm spring for the front.

Can't wait til its on the road, I was driving it around the garages in circles before just to get the feel of driving again lol

heres a pic of what the old alloys were like:

the B11 is the E32.

Mines the E36 model - which is B8

The arches do look a closer than mine think

I'm sure alpina took the micky and where sticking 19" rims on their cars.

Another option is to put some spacers on to try pushing them out a bit and see if that helps, push them out 5mm ??
