Newbie Looking for Z3 Bonnet
Hi All,

The paint code is on the suspension turret under the bonnet

Re: Newbie Looking for Z3 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.
