Well done in finding those- they are usually snapped up for winter tyre use. I didn't even think you could get 17" BMW steelies. With the authentic extra holes- they'll look good.

I didn't think you could get 17" steels either, I'm using the 15" alloys, on my z300s, the ones that look similar to Dunlops until I can afford a set of 16" Billets 46. I do like the Dunlop style, although everyone at work keeps telling me to get wires.

Andy...The body is currently resting on one of Chris' cars, mine is the standard one behind it. The wheels are Chris' 15" wires, mine are going to be steels but the standard alloys are still on until the body is done so I can see if there's room under the arches to have the steels banded slightly. If everyone keeps telling you to put wires on, that sounds like the perfect reason to do something else!
Redratbike...The body will be fitted up to a drivable state and I'll sort the flash lines when it's painted. The reason I wanted it blue gelcoat was so that any chips in my blue paint won't show through white.
Chris… your worship. Should that be workshop or worship, or perhaps it's both!
Can you or someone on here just run me through the registering procedure again, I've looked on DVLA and am not sure which forms I need.
The contact details for the very nice people that I got my lights from (including rear fog and reverse lights that I forgot to photograph before I left them with Chris) is----
A STAFFORD, LANCASTER HOUSE, 48 ASHBY ROAD, TAMWORTH, STAFFS. B79 8AD

Cheers, Bob.

Check out my thread here: http://www.madabout-kitcars.com/foru...?t=4941&page=4
Just used the form with some careful wording (also in the thread) that made it clear what the car was and is now.
Worked for me.
Good luck.

Thanks Chris, Registration was one off the things I thought of yesterday but had forgotten by the time I stopped and found a pen!
I'd like a picture of the car car stripped if you could do one.
Cheers, Bob.

Those IMAGE Billet 46's will certainly suit your Z300S and would look great in aan SWB too:

Quick question on the SWB - how much longer is the rear overhang than the standard Z3? Just thinking ahead and looking at exhaust options (got to be four tail pipes).
Looking forward to seeing the Kebab come together - If it's ok with you Hurnleft I'll have to make the trip over to Norwich to see it for myself once you've got it back.

Hi Mr T, I'd be pleased to see when when it's back home (should be a couple of weeks).
All those odd bits that weve been think about, wheel space under the arches, exhaust endings, interior bits etc are much easier to get clear in the mind if you've seen an example of the car.
Cheers, Bob.

Looking forward to it Bob. We'll have to get some pics of my Spyder and your Berlinetta together.

Thanks for that Ian, I was rather hoping for an answer in inches or mm though.

Something else to address, especially if using 4 pipes, is how to support them, as the extended SWB glassfibre panels will need some sort of bracketing to cope with the additional mass slung out at the back end of the car.
