Wonderful car looks fantastic John.
As mentioned in our talks glad you have got the hood working again as that could of cost you a small fortune at the dealers.
I am very pleased as most people on here will be to see back in the seat of a Z3, keep us all updated with the progress and well done.

Hopefully he hasn't, coz the roof should be down !Jonttt wrote:Wecome back
Looks like a facelift S50 and from memory your old one was pre facelift ? Have you noticed a difference with the extra roof lining?

Great car, i think your wheels look great.
For info i had my wheels refurbed at the wheelspecialist today after recommendations on here, dropped of at 8 this morning, picked up at 16.30, already waxed them twice ready for our run to Wales tomorrow to meet the guys from here.
Also found a recommendation for a company in Bradford for replacing the rear window, they also repair/refurb hoods and leather seats, i will be there myself in a month of 2, if you want to know the name give me a shout.

Hi-just an update on the outstanding repairs/refurb on the Z
Since last posting I purchased a full leather repair kit from Germany for the worn drivers seat squab (£72) but worth every penny.Although not perfect due to uneven wear the colour match of the seats (estoril blue) is spot on.The whole interior is now fully cleaned and treated.
I have put the replacement hood on hold till next year,current one is still seviceable with no leaks .will not be used through winter so no panic .
I purchased an excellent set of M3 (2008) rims and tyres from a guy in Aberdeen who fortunately had a connection with DHL so delivery cost minimal-hope you like!
Original alloys/wheels for sale at around £450-see posting
