Looks awesome Liam, good call

Not being rude about the old ones, but these are 1 million times more juicy!
As with everyone else, I'm glad they are yours to wash and not mine

Welcome Vince,

4.5k should get you a pretty nice Z3 I reckon, and you may be able to squeek a 2.2 with a bit of luck. Good luck with your search, and don't hesitate to ask any questions if we can help you out

Well done Macca, looks lovely.

Those are by far the best looking Z4 standard alloys. very jealous.

Welcome to the forum. :wave I bought my midlife crisis 16 months ago, and still feel like I'm having! No other car I have driven has put as big a smile on my face. Hope you enjoy it as much. The wheel colour thing will always provoke comment, but as said its your car. If you are any good with a comp...

Hi Guys and Gals,

Just a small bump. Already had 7 cracking entries this month, and 7 days to do until the deadline for entries...

Cheers, Gary

Won't be finding any new cars on here spambot!

You will find a bloody good clean will bring it closer to black again. If you want to get it black as coal, then you will need to dye it. The Autoglym 2 stage clean and proof does a good job for cleaning (use it twice now). Best thing for getting rid of mould/green etc is Milton (not tried this pers...

What's the difference between silver on black and black on silver? :puzzle: (Any idea where he got his silver ones from ?) I meant that the silver ones look great, rather than a good contrast on black! Didn't come across clear on my post :head: I'll send him a message and see if he can remember... ...

GazHyde

Hi Titan, Wondering if you have considered seeing if you can get different coloured material yet to make these? It may not be possible, or too expensive but I would certainly buy a set which were a more subtle contrast against silver. Silver would look great against, er, silver! (I have a mate with ...

Lovely looking car, and looks in great nick too.

Surely 'lookinggood' would be better than 'lookingfoolish'

I used to obscure the plates on my car pictures, but got bored doing it in the end.

a full detailing job for around £200 and they can even tell the depth of the paint. bill That's around what I paid the guy who did mine. Spent 8.5 hours on it for that amount! Gave it the works, wash clay, wash, 2 stage machine polish and then a final coat of something that stops dirt sticking to t...

GazHyde

err, never needed an excuse....

GazHyde

Ian,

I'm not too far from you, although I may be in Newbury at some stage next week which is closer.

More than happy to help you out, no fee required.

Gary

GazHyde

A massive overprice I'm thinking, sorry to the OP!

Mileage and condition are indeed lovely, but there is an ///M for sale on here for that price

I do keep looking at Sparco / Corbeau seats (Recaro's are just far too expensive) and just get the setup that I'd like... Save a few KG's too, but I do wonder what the resale impact would be without the stock seats? I've upgraded my car to ///M seats but kept the original seats, and they will be re...

I think yours looks a great price, but the market appears to be a bit flat at the moment. If I could sell mine quick I'd have yours, but have the same selling dilemna you are seeing. 4/5 months ago people were snapping cars like yours up, but there are have been some crackers on here that took a whi...

So true .. I also use a Dell (which is excellent), but I replaced Windoze 7 with the far superior Ubuntu 11.04 - now THAT is an OS, complete with a CLI that you can really use. I'm using a 6 year old Dell D420 laptop with Linux Mint 10 to post this, and it's pretty darn good. Quick, stable and of c...

Welcome to the forum

Lovely looking Zed.

Gary

GazHyde

Good luck with the sale. I've ruled out a move this year due to being skint

You could do with posting some interior pictures though, looks lovely on the outside.

Gary

GazHyde

///M badges on the steering wheel and knob are pretty much standard for a Zed. My 2.0 has them too.

Why don't you look to get the centre console bits fitted to finish the ///M look off? I dont think it's that difficult a procedure, and a few on here have done it recently...

Gary

GazHyde

On second look, and seeing your post for interior bits I think you have an ///M Coupe interior fitted in your car. You don't have seatbelt guides, as you don't need them in the coupe. A decent full ///M interior is worth a good deal of cash. I paid £600 for a set of black coupe seats and door cards ...

GazHyde

Sorry, I assumed you knew they were M seats.

Got there in the end

GazHyde

Did you look in the M interior section as they are M seats?

Run some Shell fuel through it if you have one near you. I tend to use my local Total fuel station, as that seems as good as any right now (and they are cheapest in the area) I stay away from supermarket fuel personally, and take the hit on price.
