Off with the old, on with the new!
New wheels went on this morning. 
Before
Stuck the old ones back on yesterday evening as i thought the tyres for the new ones would never arrive.
Tyres arrived about 2 hours after i stuck the old wheels back on. Had them fitted first thing this morning.
I have to say, i'm delighted with them. I think the silver makes the car look physically cleaner. Perhaps the dark anthracite drew the darkness out of the paint before?
Haven't had too much trouble yet with the extra 1/2 inch of width from the Turini's. Have caught a few times today but only on sections of road where the 7.5" Superleggeras occasionally caught.
I'd like to hear all your thoughts and opinions please!

Thanks guys. I still really prefer the Turinis at the moment though, can't stop looking at the car right now which is something that never happened even when the SL's were brand new.
PS: buy the OZs.

Cheers chaps.
Lol tyres painted on... 35 profile mate. They're 215's and a little stretched over the 8J rim (virtually no rim protection 
) but i'll live with that.
Aceman, it's just a standard 99 front bumper and a P1 splitter. Try and get an original P1 splitter though, mine is the replica one off of eBay and wasn't the greatest to fit i was told. PIAA covers were my own wee flash of inspiration. For £23 they hide the cracked, rusty, fecked (until i get replacement lenses/reflectors) lights and look pretty fetching on white imo.

Mo, i doubt they'll fit. Not because you have the <98 bumper but because you don't have the PIAA lights that go underneath them.
You could always buy the whole PIAA kit from Dave!
