Newbie Looking for Z3 Bonnet

Post by Z3LINCS »

Hi All,
first post here so be gentle :lol:

today i brought my first ever BMW - is a 1997 1.9 Z3 Auto. Needs some Tlc so i do expect to be a regular poster on here

it is currently a cat c as someone reversed a transit van into the bonnet and damaged i so i am on the look out for a replacement bonnet in the dark blue if possible (not sure of the actual paint code)

also need the grills that go into the front f the bonnet (chrome - think ther ecalled kidney grills?)

anyway - can you please help?

Welcome to the Forum :wink:

You could try http://www.quarrymotors.co.uk or http://www.fabdirect.com or http://www.bmw-carparts.co.uk

The paint code is on the suspension turret under the bonnet

yeah - its the same as yours - whats that colour called?

think i got a good deal. paid £795 is a 1997 but a transit reversed into it and has dented the bonnet and broke the chrome surrounds

its the 1.9 auto. drives really nice, great wheels and tyres.

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..
