all change.. again

i also done a small walk round video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haZ2mRwTGHA&feature=plcp

been a while... 

not to much has been changed/fixed on my BIG motor, ive made a few small subtle changes, most noticeable being the tinted front fog's & i vinyl wrapped the "T" bar in the lower front grill i also fitted chrome kidney surrounds.. biggest change has been the wheels & head lights

 i purchased myself a set of "style 42" 18" BBS split's & a set of HELLA angel eye head lights about 4/5 wks ago

my intentions where to send the BBS to my mate's powder coating business and have them split, re-coated & new rubber fitted  

but before that happened i was made an offer that was hard to resist, a good friend bought a very tidy 530 sport touring and he offered me a deal, my refurbished sport alloys (style 66) & some cash for the wheels that were fitted to his new touring.

couple of day's later i was the new owner of these "phat" beasties   

at first we thought they were BBS copies but ive since been told they are Rondell alloys.

i did have a small problem when they were first fitted.. i found that i had trouble reaching speeds over 60/65mph and the car's ABS/LSD/Traction control would all kick in turned to be the wrong size front tyres as they were 45 series tyres and were playing havoc with the speed sensors counting rotation between front & rear wheel speed rotations.. so i swapped the 45's for 40's and all was good  

i'm fairly happy with it's look for now.. just need to see about getting a few small blemishes & stone chips seen to 

my next task.. strip out the dash board to fit a new on board computer pixel display ribbon.....   

apparently it can take up to 6hr "start to finish"

i'll (hopefully) strip my dash out tomorrow afternoon then have it back in place on saturday morning?? 

how the display looks at the moment, not the worst yet but i'd rather it was reading clear 

this is the 9 page insturction that i had to download for how to strip down the actual speedo/cluster 

then once all stripped i take out the old ribbon and replace it with this nice new one

then rebuild & refit the speedo cluster

"wish me luck"  

personally i have considered removing it as it look's out of place just floating about on the grille
