BBS CH Black Editions
« on: 11 July 2010, 16:37 »
Has anyone changed the outer lip on these? I wasn't concentrating last night and managed to touch a kerb - I was furious!!! I was wondering do they just glue on?

Where is the cheapest place to get them? PW Motorsport have them on eBay for £60

Think they are the UK distributor so probably your best bet for service and asking how to fit them :)

I am trying to contact Rimstyle where I got the rims. If they can't help me, I will have to get these from PW Motorsport.

I ordered a replacement lip on Tuesday and it arrived yesterday morning.

It was £60 + delivery from PW Motorsport.

I haven't fitted it yet but I will be doing it later.

It comes with taped already fitted to the replacement part so it should be a simple job of removing the existing lip then sticking on the new one.

There is a channel for the lip to sit in so it should be simple.

What colour of Golf do you have? Will you be going for the 19x8s, ET50?

Can you take some pics when you do the swap? Quite interested in how well these work :)

Do you mean you are interested in how the replacement lip looks or how well they look on the car?

the process of the swap really - how damaged they currently look, how hopefully un-damaged the wheel itself is and how easy the replacement is to fit.

It isn't too bad to be honest. I could probably polish the existing outer rim and stick it on again and nobody would notice. I am just fussy.

I will try to get some pictures later when I do it.
