      Replaced the passenger side front wheel bearing. Needed to get a 46mm socket but otherwise the job was very painless with the old inner race coming off easily. Only tricky part was needing to heat up the inner race of the new bearing to about 50*C before it would slip onto the spindle.

        Finally installed my tires on my BBS RS2. Only need to get the centers powdercoated now!

        BTW can consider selling them but within Canada only. Shipping wheels with tires on them to USA is a nightmare with Customs...

          Wow absolutely fantastic color combo, wheels are the cherry on top. Did you paint it Estoril Blue? or was it an individual spec?

            it's a 2006/04 Individual package Estoril blue on Black 6mt from factory. Probably one of the last Estoril made

              The car looks amazing and the wheels are so cool. Just needs a tad bit more lowering.

                I know it's would look better another 15mm lower but my underside would rub against the sidewalk everytime I want to enter my driveway that has a slope to my garage

                  Was able to make some progress. After priming one needs to sand the whole thing to a smooth surface and it is a very tedious process. Now is ready for sealer

                  since I don’t have a booth I will have to seal it , clean the garage, and then paint. Issue with sealer is that is basically thinner primer and when it dries is extremely dusty and if I spray paint after sealer it will dirt the job, so will need to split it.

                  the passenger side look off as it does not have the fender bracket, but holding the bumper confirms everything lines up

                  The damage was inboard side to the headlamp washer opening.

                  The driver side has the bracket in place and so it holds the bumper. I just hang it, did not fully snapped it in as I am just making sure all is ready for install and reduce fiddling with the bumper once is painted.
