Had the 437M wheels re-done in powder coat gloss black finished with clear lacquer…£320 for a drive in , drive out service from these boys.

Brief look seems quality is good..one year warranty..

Not sure whether to stick the baby MSport logos back on or leave them as is? Less is more?

They look great 👍, the little little square where the badge should go would really bug me though, so I’d have to put the m badge back on :D

I agree with Chippie, knowing there is the empty square would bug me too :oops:

But more than that, I feel like the M logo is small enough to be an easter egg if noticed without screaming "riiiicer" in the face either.

Collected mine this afternoon then went and had the tyres fitted. Some GTechnic Wheel Armour going on over the weekend and then all ready for MOT Tuesday.
Then when I get a free weekend it'll be time for some S/C shenanigans :thumbsup:
