Yes it is bonded on to the door card, you need to remove the door card to access the back where there is some melted plastic plugs that hold the trim in place. These need to be cut off and you can take the plastic trim off to be sprayed. Best way to attach them back on is to clamp it back onto the d...

They would look nice on any zed, a classic wheel to suit a classic car. I run similar with BBS LM's although they are 18" but the widths are 8" and 9" and sit pretty well. Just check the offsets, but these will look fantastic on your zed.

g8jka

It is still available everywhere, although the code doesn't appear on the website. Add one 5L tub to the basket and enter the code FREEOIL2 into the promo code box and it will add another 5L tub FOC.

g8jka

Eurocarparts currently have their triple qx 5w40 fully synthetic oil on offer, buy one get one free on the 5l tubs.

Works out at £19.43 for 10 litres, which is a much better deal than the current halfords offer.

g8jka

I am selling these on behalf of my Grandad, who had them fitted to an F20 1 Series. The specifications are all within the limits of fitting a Z3, even though the offsets are fairly low. Looking on will they fit, compared to a style 55 16 alloy they stick out a further 15mm both on the front and rear...

Yes it will be painted but probably not until the new year now, just need to get a few quotes and find a decent bodyshop that can do it for a reasonable price. The exhaust tips now look a little lost against the cut out so they need to come out further but I'm thinking of getting some new ones or ma...

Thanks, would have been nice to go up with another 2.0 but there's not many about. I can see what you mean, there is not a lot of add on mods that look good on zeds as they look a bit stuck on and like they shouldn't be there. Even the aero one is on the limits imho, I think it should look good when...

g8jka

Love the side gills. Don't like the angel eyes, because of that colour. Don't like aero rear bumper, because looks out of place without aero side skirts. Thanks, as the aero bumpers are so rare I got it whilst I had the chance. It would look better with the side skirts but again these are extremely...

Same with the cruise control, how often can you use that in UK? Mine didn't come with cruise control and I have never had a car with it fitted and I never thought I would be that bothered about using it. Anyway I decided to retrofit it into my zed as it wasn't that expensive or difficult to do, it ...

Best was 16.6 if I remember, don't know if that's any good for a 2.0 as there was no others to compare it too.

Now the weather has changed I've got my winter wheels and hardtop back on ready for the next few month winter motoring. Also I managed to source a brand new aerodynamics rear bumper which I've been after for ages, still needs to be sprayed as its only primed at the moment (probably after christmas),...

g8jka

New waterpump, thermostat and housing plus 5L of antifreeze and some new carbon fibre wheel badges to replace the faded ones on my summer wheels. Oh and an aerodynamic rear bumper :D (Needs to be sprayed as its just primed at the moment but the trial fit all went well) http://i470.photobucket.com/al...

g8jka

I can't wait to see which route your going down with this zed, your old one was fantastic. Looks like you have already picked up plenty of new and rare parts. I have sourced an aero rear bumper for mine which I need to collect so I may be in touch for a little help soon with regards to fitting it. ...

Yes you are correct about the price between new and used vents, there is not much difference and the price of them mirrors in pretty outrageous and you still need to factor in the cost of spraying. I just thought I'd give you the option as you posted a thread saying you WTB and these items don't com...

g8jka

There is a shop in Germany that is called zettiworld where you can still get brand new mirror and vents. I had a set of mirrors from him a while back (they have doubled in price now) and the service was fantastic. I also had a set of facelift clear rear lights and both items came within 3 days from ...

g8jka

apart from the bumps towards the rear of the hardtop and possibly a slightly flatter line as it comes over the top of the rear window are there any other differences ? The lower profile, reduced 'hot rod' style rear screen and the bumps are the main differences. IMO the roof is massively overpriced...

g8jka

You also need the switch for the back of the brake pedal (again a few quid off ebay). Fitting is 60 mins tops already fitted.... it uses the brake light switch, some models need a clutch switch but on the 3.0 that will also be fitted. sorry couldn't remember which pedal it was fitted to - obvious w...

A pair of new air intake hoses to replace the old ones that were split

That's why I asked, I noticed the difference in the last pic to the rest of them.

Looking good

Looks great as always, have you fitted ///M gills now?

g8jka

Thanks, you have great taste! Fortunately I have both of the sets you have mentioned and run the style 78's in winter and the LM reps in the summer. In terms of ride I don't find a massive difference between the 2, apart from the 18's are a little harsher on ride quality but this is probably down to...

I quite like it and admire the work you have done and are doing to it to get it back to an exceptional standard, by spending money on it to have the paintwork refreshed and the mechanical work done properly.

I finally got around to spraying up my ///M vents and got them fitted this week.

Being silver its always pretty hard to get a...

They certainly are my favourites! G8jka, is that z3-specific mudflaps that you beauty is sporting? Where can I find some? They're much easier on the eye than the stone guards, I think. Boosh. Boosh, they are genuine BMW OEM mudflaps which I think are NLA so you will be lucky to find a set now unles...

I love these wheels, they are the best looking standard wheel that can be fitted on any zed in my opinion. I picked up a set a few years back and refurbished them myself to begin with but eventually had them powder coated last winter for £30 a wheel and they cam out looking great. Started like this ...

Sorry Mugs, missed your post. It is the same as the one linked above, search dual car camera on eBay. They are around the £30 mark usually from the UK but they only seem to be that price if you buy from China at the moment and UK prices seem to have shot up to almost 60 quid
