Re: Z3 Hood replacement - are the BMW dealers having a laugh

Paul at Soft Top Shop did mine earlier in the year. I also had burgundy on my Silver Zed. He does a great job and I'm really pleased with the service. He may not be the cheapest but if you travel a distance and have problems at a later date it's a PIA to get it sorted. Photo here http://zroadster.ne...

Buy a rear screen and do it yourself. I'm sure there is a guide on here on how to do it along with links for the best prices. There used to be a place in Germany that did good deals.

Renovo free.

Having an Easter clear out of the garage I have come across a bottle of Renovo roof colour in black that is about two thirds full.
As I now have a new red roof I no longer need it so it is free to a good home. You can either collect from Macclesfield or I will post and you pay the postage cost.

Re: Can somebody please help identify this connector?

If it's under the passenger seat then I think it was fitted for the American market and it's a passenger seat belt sensor and lights on the dash if someone is sat in the seat without the seatbelt fastened.

I'm sure Rob T will be along soon to prove me wrong though. :)
