Well worth the hard work, great shine!

Daz 999

I think its a member called moontop, he hasn't been active on the site for the last three years, well he hasn't posted for the last three years anyway.

He really keeps the car looking well, I spotted it some way off, it really stood out.

Daz 999

It would have been great to have seen your Estoril M. Unfortunately I was in a hire car for the two days.

First time to Yorkshire, absolutely loved it, people and scenery were fantastic.

Daz 999

I was visiting Yorkshire over the past couple of days.

Just as i was leaving Knaresborough I spotted this shiny Z3, is it anyone on here?

Daz 999

Excellent work, looks immaculate

Really like those wheels on a Zed too

Daz 999

One front and one back tyre, please see attatched gratuitous pic.......

Daz 999

Another local owner here, welcome to the forum. Plenty of advice and eyes on classifieds to help your search

Daz 999

Thanks for all the replies guys, much appreciated. So just to summarise, I can replace my rear shocks and top mounts with standard shocks/mounts, the ride height wont be affected as it is determined by the springs? :dunce: It will definately be a comfier ride as the rear of the car doesnt bounce (or...

Daz 999

Hi Ian, its probably ok, its just that i noticed that there are two different part numbers on real oem, one for standard, one for m sport

hope this linky works......

Daz 999

Hi Tom, thanks for the heads up on that EBay store. I've looked at Real Oem for the part number to cross reference with the oem equivalent numbers on the ebay site but cant find a match for my 2.2 sport (33526753263). Do you know if this is important or would shocks for a 2.2 with standard suspensio...

Daz 999

Same thing happened to my style 78's. They couldnt find a conventional puncture so I was advised by the tyre place that the rim must have corroded to the extent that there was a leak. I kept a small compressor in the car and lived with it for a while. Recently I had all four wheels refurbed and ther...

Daz 999

I've had the front bumper, Indicator panels, sills, leading edge of bonnet and mirrors resprayed. All done by a friend of the family to a very high standard. Really chuffed with the work he's done. To save money, i used the excellent guides on here about the removal of the mirrors and John Wilson's ...

Daz 999

Hi Conor long time no read! Did you put the flaps on OGII or Hamish? If it was Hamish, could you be persuaded to let them go?

Daz 999

Cheers Tim, I'd forgotten about Roadster Solutions. I've got a reply back from another USA supplier, they were looking over $90 to supply and ship here to sunny Northern Ireland. Not sure if that included import duty and VAT. Think i will just keep my eyes peeled for a used set. Im currently having ...

Daz 999

I went to my local dealer to enquire about a pair of front mudflaps. He looked at stock held by all UK dealers and advised of only two listing them as in stock, one in Hull and another in London. I rang them today and both had recently sold the last ones. Hope you managed to get some woozle, the sea...

Daz 999

Would be tempted, but i need to sell my 2.2 sport first........

Daz 999

Stunning!!!! .....Just Stunning!

Health to enjoy

Daz 999

Thanks, I find it hard to believe i was seriously considering changing it to a Hilux during the snowy weather last winter!

Daz 999

Are the roads down there that bad any more? I remember some lovely drives around Galway, Clare and the Dingle peninsula a few years ago, though we were in a Saab 9-3 at the time, v comfy.
Always wanted to do the Ring of Kerry, maybe someday....

Daz 999

its an estoril blue 2.2 sport. Wish i'd taken my camera that day, the one on my phone is rubbish.

Daz 999

Stunning bike

Daz 999

Summer finally arrived here in NI at the weekend 8-) Took the Zed on a wee trip around the Mourne Mountains up to Spelga Dam.... http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc20/daz999_photos/03072011040.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc20/daz999_photos/03072011039.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/alb...

Daz 999

You deserve that beer,

nice work

Daz 999

interesting thread this. Point to note - winter tyres are not specific to snow and ice, they are claimed to be better in any weather conditions with an ambient temp of less than plus 7 celsius. There are snow specific tyres but these are prob overkill for the UK. A set of higher profile narrower win...

Daz 999

Ah def not me then lol. It's not my usual car route, i was only in the vicinity due to a security alert on the westlink. During the summer i cycled to work a few days each week, i think my route would take me right past your place, saw a silver Z4 in there but not your Z3. Maybe next year we should ...

Daz 999

I was there around fourish yesterday in an Estoril blue facelift with a blue hood. Reg is TCZ but with different numbers. Didnt notice yours though Marcus.

Daz 999

Absolutely stunning car. I've always loved CSL wheels and the darker colour suits the Imola perfectly.

Daz 999

Car is looking very well Gaz, like those wheels a lot.

Have you got a link to the source of your sidelight lenses? One of mine is cracked.

Cheers
Daz

Daz 999

I did all that and still didnt get to Warsaw!

Daz 999

I was quoted 350 quid for an Insp 2 plus a brake fluid change on my 2.2 by a main dealer here in NI. Another member on here pointed me in the direction of an ex BMW technician now working as an Indy in Ballyclare - 140 quid all in. The car has not missed a beat and I have just over two hundred pound...

Daz 999

Hi Trig, its a 2002 2.2 sport with 65,000 miles on it. There have been some very pristine looking Z3m's for sale this year for a couple of grand more, though admittedly they were 1998 models. Kermit, your car looks fantastic, I've seen one up close in that colour combination and it was pretty specia...

Daz 999

Ive been wondering for a while if i could get 6.5k/7.0k or so for my 2.2.

Not that i want to leave zedworld, its just that there have been a few very nice Z3Ms up for sale at only a couple of grand more.....

Daz 999

Thanks for that link Mouldy, i had no idea there were that many seat colour options!

Daz 999

I was trawling through the Pistonheads classified section on AC Schnitzer BMW's when i came across this. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1949740.htm Lovely looking car, but what caught my eye were the green leather seats and door card inserts. I've never noticed Z3's with this before. Was it an opt...

Daz 999

Here is a car that was for sale on gumtree over here in NI back in June. Plenty of pics with what looks like the carbon / black badges

http://belfast.gumtree.com/belfast/43/60912643.html

Daz 999

Looks really well, matches the bodywork perfectly.

Am loving the smoked out light clusters too....

EDIT: just noticed your thread on tinting all the lights, nice work.

Daz 999

That was probably a Fiji green one. I've seen one or (possibly) two around Belfast.

It's a colour that certainly stands out from the crowd.

Daz 999

A purple one came along to a cruise in Belfast a couple of years ago, lovely to see the Z1 in the flesh.

It was the the oldest car there but the design still looks so fresh.

Daz 999

Looks like an ordinary Sport model.

Just M\\\ badged steering wheel, gear knob. Firmer suspension, different plastic grill within the front bumper.

Don't think the engines were modified though.

Daz 999

Pure Z porn!

I don't usually like black alloys but those work really well with the car

Daz 999

Chevrolet MatiZ?

Daz 999

As far as i can see it is part number 51117016906. It's a black plastic mesh. Not shown in the pics, but refered to as a sport model specific cover @ $76.10 compared to $56.08 for the standard item (part 9) in the diagram. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=CN12&mospid=48081&btnr=...

Daz 999

The lower grill was standard kit on Sport models, i have the same on my 2.2 sport.

Absolutely love that car, the condition looks fantastic, a credit to you Neil

Daz 999

Yup, ive seen a fiji green one around the Stranmilis area, cant imagine there are too many in that colour around the city.

I'm waiting on DBZ 3 becoming available (my initials are DB), and winning the lottery in order to afford it

Daz 999

Loads of people on here have gone down the diy route for this, but if you don't fancy it, you could try Darren at DW Autos in Ballyclare. He is an independent BMW specialist and an ex BMW franchise mechanic.
I have no connection to him other than a satisfied customer.

Daz 999

Not every day Marcus, just the sunny ones

I've spotted loads around Belfast just lately too.

Daz 999

Hi Marcus and welcome. Your car is looking great.

I work in Belfast, i'll keep an eye out for you.

Daz 999

Hi Chris, there was a group who held regular meets led by ///Maniac (Conor) and ajones13(?) (Andrew). Two very friendly and helpful guys. Haven't seen them on here in a while but if you have a look at http://irishzedders.freeforums.org/portal.php you will see some of the events that have happened ov...

Daz 999

Hi Chris, lovely example there. I've had mine for three years and still get that buzz just from looking at it.

Nice to see another zedder from this part of the world too.

Daz 999

Some stunning scenery there.

Lovely pics of the zed too.

Those sort of drives are what these cars are all about.
