  I have some 17 inch alloys i need to refurb and put on my 1.8 2004 Compact.

Does anyone have any reccomendations regarding what filler, primer and spray would be a good brand to use.

Ive got some 800 and 80 wet-and-dry paper to rub them down with, and also a small detail sander and a little dremmel tool thing if i need it.

Any other tips or hints welcome.

Hi Andy

I'm pretty sure Halfords sell some paint specified for alloy wheels which I assume would  be thicker than standard paint to protect from stone chips, etc but not entirely sure the best stuff to use. Tend to drop them into refurbishers in the past as they over bake them to get the correct finish.

Good luck with finding the paint and do let us know if you do find anything worth using

Cheers  Trevor

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning to you all, I have a 2014 X3 35d M sport, absolutely love it. However, I’d love to have a wireless charger (ideally MagSafe as I have an iPhone) in the centre cubby between the two seats. Of course I know I could use a lead (and indeed do currently), but in the interests of being extremely lazy I’d love to just be able to plonk it onto a fix in place wireless MagSafe pad. I've seen a few aliexpress specials to retro fit something by the cup holders, but that’s not what I’m after. What I’m after is as above, but I can’t find anything anywhere. Has anyone here done or seen something along those lines? Cheers Rob

      Failed turbo

      Morning William Welcome to the Forum That number sounds like a BMW Dealer quote ? Who diagnosed the fault ? What engine ? Remember BMW don't make Turbo Chargers they buy them in. If you haven't already talk to a Turbo specialist, well more than one so you get a good comparison on cost/warranty etc. Engine damage will occur if the turbine on the inlet disintegrates sending debris into the engine iif your lucky it will be the exhaust turbine thats gone Dave
