Size:  97.3 KBRight I have finally finished the refurb of my perfos x5 and chose to be a bit different so done them in BMW sparkling anthracite. Tommorrow I will start fitting and balancing, these were not just blown over I :-

    1) flattened right back and filled if needed.
    2) primed and flattened again.
    3) painted.
    4) lacquered
    5) hand polished and waxed

    Overall i m very happy and even managed the clutch renewal during it.lol.

    I will post better pic once fitted.
