They are Dare X4s. Only 100 sets were ever made, originally for a group buy on M2. I think they are all sold now, although you could try Dare motorsport or Ray West Tuning as they may have a set still knocking about. Have a look in my gallery for more pics.

Cheers

They look stunning !

Ta

I saw them on mikeythemini's first and just fell in love with them. When I was in Italy last year at Misano there were loads of folk asking about them - we even caught one German bloke on his hands and knees videoing them

How much did they set you back ? ? ?

They look like 18's, am I correct

There must be other alloys out there that look similar

ColinK did you ever find any more about how they do the chrome grille? I have and aero bumper to go on but wanbt to keep my chrome grille and spots as they are and want to attempt a DIY job so any info would be very usefull

Thanks

Damo - yes they're 18s and they cost about £480, without tyres (I think!)

Paul - they had to bond it on so, I believe, they had to get rid of the screwy bits on the grille and bumper so it was flat. The first bonding soon came loose, mainly at the hands of the jetwash, but they did it again and its been solid since.

I haven't seen my mechanic mate for a while but I do need to take it in for brakes in the next week so I'll make sure and get a more detailed description

thanks very much - I will keep my eyes pealed

MarkW19 · Jul 21st, 2006, 02:38 PM

Mine has been bonded too...I think the main problem is that the middle chrome slat on the aero bumper doesn't have anything to fix to at the back like it usually does, therefore mine does come away a bit from the indents they made in the chrome outline.

It almost looks perfect though, if you don't look too close

It's a botch job in any case, it just depends how well they botch it

Check this link and scroll to the bottom of the page until you see the chrome grill set. I think this will compliment the aero kit better
