I'd like to drop it a bit, but then I wouldn't be able to get to work as quickly (have to take a whole different route to avoid speed bumps) or park when I get there as I have to get up a rather steep curb :p

VikingSven

Sounds pretty good, but I put my reg number in and get "Unfortunately we are currently unable to service this vehicle."

If you haven't read a thread, it has a little icon next to it, which disappears when you read the thread

I take it from the complete lack of replies everyone hates the new headlights but it too polite to say so :D Oh well, I like them, they make the car look much more complete. Had the day off work today, and while waiting around for National Windscreens to come and replace the windscreen due to some r...

VikingSven

I took mine off, used a rust remover sponge from Halfords and got them looking as shiny as new in about 15 mins, then painted them with black rust protector paint so I don't have to do it again.

VikingSven

Managed to buckle one of mine to the point of it needing 90g of weight added to one side to get it balanced. I know they're incredibly rare, but if anyone sees one for sale anywhere (I've got my eye on the usual places ;)) can you let me know! Will definitely consider wheels in need of a refurb, as ...

"The law, as presented by The Highway Code, states that front and rear fog lights must not be used unless visibility is seriously reduced - which generally means when you cannot see further than 100 metres (328 feet) - and that they must be switched off once the visibility improves." You m...

Had my wheels off to clean them yesterday, and discovered the fronts are in pretty bad shape - tread is fine, but there are a few stones wedged firmly in the rubber and some cracking that's only going to get worse, so decided to get them all replaced, as the rears that came with the wheels will need...

VikingSven

Are the bigger holders a direct fit? And how much were they? Might just get a pair if they're not too expensive and I can get them quicker than it's going to take to get the discs I've bought swapped for the smaller ones.

VikingSven

Looking at these:
http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/ ... brakediscs
Brembo and EBC list the 2.8 as 286mm, the rest have it as 300mm

VikingSven

I know you've got my PM, but just to keep everything in one place:
I'd like the Blue CF front, rear and steering wheel badges, and 4 80mm blue CF badges to fit the Breyton center caps.

VikingSven

Cheers

Just been searching around, some disc manufacturers list the 2.8 as needing 286mm, and others say 300mm.
Was there an option to have bigger discs, or were they changed at some point?

VikingSven

My Z3 is a 1999 2.8L. I've bought some replacement front disks, and which are 300mm, but the garage has just told me they're too big. The company I bought them from has checked all their product listings for my spec car, and all the manufacturers list it as needing 300mm disks. Any idea what size th...

VikingSven

Finally got round to fitting my new headlights that I ordered from JustRoadster about a month ago. Decided to go with the chrome surround, as the front of the car looked really dull compared to the shiny rear lights and shiny door handle. I know they're a bit like Marmite on here, but I like them! h...

VikingSven

PM sent.
I wonder if I can figure out a way to mount these 82mm bonnet badges on wheel hub centre caps - the Breyton wheels I have take 82mm caps, and currently using some cheap stick on vinyl badges, so they'd look much better with decent badges on.

VikingSven

I had the same problem with mine - someone at work suggested using a chef's flame torch to heat them up. Not had a chance to try that yet, I plan on soaking them in WD40 for 24 hours before I resort to setting things on fire!

VikingSven

I went there a few years ago and was talking to the owner - the pub won't be there in about 10 years because the cliff is eroding so fast, so they can't sell it because no-one wants to buy something that's going to fall into the sea!

VikingSven

You need some of these! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Chrome-Amber-501- ... arParts_SM

It says it was fitted to a facelift 2.8 - is there any reason this wouldn't fit on a pre-facelift?

Got my clear ones from this seller, very good quality.

VikingSven

I have some of the greygate and some of the renovo polish, and use them regularly, but still get the problem of water staying on the window after it's stopped raining. I suspect one of the previous owners didn't treat it very often, as the fold mark is very prominent on my window compared to other c...

VikingSven

Has anyone used water repellent on their rear window? I was looking at some in Halfords, and figured it would be useful, as reversing after it's been raining isn't particularly easy when you can't see out of the rear window because of all the water on it, but everything they sold said not to use on ...

VikingSven

I spent ages trying to decide between the red piping and red trim, and chose the trim option instead, but the piping looks really good too when you see it fitted.

VikingSven

Yes, but it has a hole for the key in it, and there is no key hole on the passenger door

VikingSven

When I bought my chrome door handle covers off ebay, I was sent the LHD drivers door one at first by mistake. The seller sent me the correct RHD one, and didn't want the LHD one back. If anyone can make use of it, it's yours. It's not cost me anything, and not bothered about the £1 or so it'll cost ...

Confusing, does that mean you've asked the seller and he has said they will fit an ///M bumper?

No, look at the Q&A at the bottom of the ebay advert

Me and my good lady have decided to attend and although its only a couple of hours away from home we are going to make a weekend of it and spend Saturday night in a hotel. So my question is can anyone recommend a good hotel about 30 mins max drive from Harewood. We would like a boutiquey type place...

VikingSven

you should only need the black box on the left (that's the actuator) but you need to pull the whole locking mechanism out anyway, so you might as well use that whole unit.

VikingSven

Yup, mine was the same when I bought it - you need to replace the actuator. Cost me £12 from a breakers, took about an hour to remove and replace.

VikingSven

Fitted some chrome door handle covers today. Not completely pleased with them, as the passenger side one isn't exactly the same size as the existing handle, and leaves part of the non-hinged section uncovered. Might end up replacing them with actual chrome handles at some point. http://www.svenlowry...

Nothing to see here

Looks good :) I really need to get clear lenses for my front indicators like yours are, it looks so much better! Claying isn't scary at all - it's very easy to do, and gives amazing results - I did mine for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it's made the car look so much better. The clay did...

VikingSven

I like the look of the bag. If the design is going to be the same as the Honda one, it would be great if the piping was available in different colours (or just make them all have a red stripe so it matches my car :D) BTW you need to fix your website - the car listing has a picture of a Z4 for the Z3...

I've bought the Autoglym roof cleaner and protector kit, and the roof really needs cleaning, but I don't have access to a hose to use.

Very tempting although I think it would rattle the perspex windbreaker I have a bit :/

You can do 1/2 day course at York airfield for £130 that teaches you how to do stuff like this ;) I did it for my b'day a couple of years ago, was good fun.

Chrome door handles and polishing the exhaust tip might look good with the chrome hoops and headlights. Been tempted to get those headlights for mine, as I've de-ambered all the other lights, but still can't decide whether to replace them with the angel eyes or just to remove the amber lens from the...

Remote central locking actuator could be faulty. Do neither doors lock or just one of them?

What did you use to re-dye the seat bolster? Need to do mine, and if you can recommend a specific product, that'd be much appreciated
