Hi,

A bit of modding - Not much really.
Had to cut about 10mm off each end and flatten off a bump that ran along the leading edge (so it would fit into the front channel).
Rear top corner got a bit cut off (vertical-ish) and a bit similarly from the front lower corner.

After mod image - RHS

Take off less than you need at first.
With a bit more time and effort you can probably do it better.

Curbed a rear wheel already ImageImageImage been on a WEEK!!!!, BMW broke down on M25 slip road, couldn't quite squeeze through, and just clipped a curb, After lots of swearing I was debating sanding it down, but couldn't stand looking at it, straight to local repair shop, because its a diamond cut alloy £115 and it takes a week!!!! 15" spare back on Image, absolutely gutted Image

Fitted some BMW led number plate lights to do away with standard corroded units I had and hopefully save me a small fortune in using cheap led bulbs that don’t last. Haha.

@DeanWhit, they look smart mate. I assume it’s a HID conversion you’ve had done there?
