firebobby, Hey Fred,
The worst kerb around here, ironically, is the one into Halfords. It must stand about 10" tall.
I scraped it the first time The next time i knew it was there made a sharper turn in and still kerb'd it !!!!!!!
Park next door and walk round ever since.
Our refurb' man is busy since started trading in January, now i have my schedule sorted we have managed to fix
a date for 8th March. Looking forward to getting them done, finally After pic's will follow

Looking good mate
Somethings wrong when your wheels are in far better shape than the pair of us

+ new wheel bolts
Now the wheel are spiffy, the rusty bolts stand out (especially on good close ups like these).
& now you will need to make sure you brush your hair & wear a nice shirt when driving too!

Don't bother, they are crap. I bought a set and at least 3 of them split straight away. They won't fit over the locking bolt, either.
You can get a full new set of bolts (without lockers) for around £20 on the 'Bay. Or a small paintbrush and some smooth black Hammerite will make them look a million times better. My old 'eBay specials' bolts
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

I would second the quick rub over with wirewool & spray hammerite option - if you are not lazy (like me) - they look great afterwards.
Or just replace the set, it's not expensive.

Hammerite it cheaper and probably a more durable finish.

Maybe with added BMW tax, not from anywhere else.
and an M12 bolt is an M12 bolt, the 'OEM' ones are not any better.

Yeh - full set of cheapies (no idea of quality) looks like £20 give or take on ebay.
Febi Bilstein (good quality) somewhere around £40.
For that price, I wouldn't bother messing about painting TBH.
