Thank you all for the complements 
The 128s, which I will now use as my winter set-up, were soooo easy to clean. Its definitely going to be more work these rims, so thanks for the cleaning advice!
It was actually one of your posts in response to my "which OEM 20" rim" post, where you mentioned the Radial 32s "and Alpina" rims that got me investigating if these Alpinas were a genuine option. So many thanks for helping me spend my money!
Thanks for putting up with all my emails! The vinyl wrap is maybe something for nex year. The most likely next mod is the exhaust.
Hope everyone went well on your big day -- congratulations
Thanks
I bet that 650 looks incredible. Do you have any pictures of it?
Thanks mate!
You up for a mini-meet some time in August? Some of the other Swedish & Danish members seemed to be interested.
============================
Here are some better pictures taken with a Canon IXUS 70. Hope you like them....
They look huge! 
It will look bad-ass if you drop it a little tho.
Those wheels will be a pain in the ass to clean but have no fear, Sonax is here. I use this stuff religiously on my M101s. Spray it, let it sit for about 5 minutes and hose off. No brushing needed unless you go weeks without washing your car.

Nice wheels Pete - I like the result. I think it strikes a a good balance between timeless and sporty.
BTW, all the mods look good mate.

As I wrote in my recent PMs, I've used your car as a constant source of inspiration as its one of the most modded cars here in the forum but has still retained that OEM look
Its also probably going to result in me spending even more money on the car, because I love the sound of that SuperSprint exhaust!
