Silverthorn's MB 370z GT

@valy I had the wheels powder coated by a place local to me named 'Prestige Wheel Refurbishments'. The quality of work was second to none. I watched them remounting my tyres and I've never seen anyone take as much care with them as they did! Turned them round in 48h and only cost £300 + VAT.

Looks awesome mate. Amazing how a set of wheels can make or break a car, even the colour. I’ve just had mine powder coated (changed from OEM silver to gloss black) and they’ve transformed the car. 

 

Loving your work Sir B)

@Sim the wheel specs are:

 

Front: 19 x 9.5 et15 with a 3mm spacer & 245/35/19 tyre

 

Rear: 19 x 11 et22 with a 15mm spacer & 275/35/19 tyre. 

 

I'm planning on going to a 25mm spacer in the rear as that should give me a similar fitment to the Royal Speed Shop 370 I posted previously. Tempted to pop the 15mm spacer in the front and get some adjustable camber arms to fine tune the front end but we'll see. All in good time :)

I dropped it over to Bodyworx to be painted a few days ago so i should hopefully have it back by the weekend!

 

I also had a personalised plate for my birthday the other day so went about fixing my magnets behind the bumper to ensure the plate stayed on properly... All fixed now and working :) Forgot to get a photo of the plate once i actually put it on though :doh:

I've already started looking at wheels again as well :lol: I think I'm going to keep my current wheels for winter months and at some point in the new year I'm going to start the hunt for a set of Work T7R's in white. Spotted this car on Instagram a month or so ago and absolutely fell in love with it. I've always loved white wheels on a black car so i think I'm going to have scratch the itch soon

The new bumper is on. Absolutely over the moon with it :D

 

Off to infinity exhausts tomorrow to have the new rear section made to mate up with the bumper a little better! Then it's just in need of a good wash :thumbs:

FYI for anyone considering doing the conversion themselves. You do not need anything other than the bumper and the tow hook cover. Everything bolts up perfectly with all of the original fittings!
