I need to pick the brain of all of you Z3s nuts AGAIN!! first thing, where did cosmos black get them alloy wheels from, and how much do they cost cuz they look fantastic!!!!
secondly my centre console looks very old and boring so i think im gonna attempt to spray it, The last thing I want is some flakey naff peeling dashboard tho. So was wondering if anybody has made a good job of it in silver and got any good tips?
The other thing i would like to do is put a nice cd player in to tart the dash up a bit. any reccomendations or pics of what other people have done??
thanks for your hellp
oh yea any leather seats for sale??
painting the dash, selecting a cd player and alloy wheels
Good to see another Brummie on the board!
There is a thread somewhere about a German based company that do different coloured/finished centre console covers for the Zed, they work out at £40 or so I think, much easier than self painting, and less likely to go wrong.
With the CD player, take a look at L&J audio in Cannock for a local supplier (they are v expensive but tip top) if not, just have a look at your local car place for some ideas on head units, then work out if it looks good in your Zed, when the silver is done of course...

get a becker
the becker head units are so easy to install and to be honest make the car look that bit more exclusive, get one with a bluetooth car kit and you really are gonna be happy. sextons direct is the cheapest I found.
how do i cover the center console in leather? use some kind of adhesive? Ive never heard or seen this done before has anybody done it and got pictures?? and i do like the becker head units they look as tho they are made for the car and may be less likely to get pinched when i leave the roof down. however they do seem a bit steep at £250.
also my rear window is very misty and scratched, is ther any good restoration chemicals out there? there is also a rip on the top of the window in each top corner. would this be repaired if i was to get a new window put in??

BMW also do some toothpaste for rear windows, at £7 a pop. Lasts ages, and its advisable to use the a towel when folding the hood down, to decrease the rubbing against the carpet.
A new roof will set you back around £115. And whilst it is fiddly to replace the screen, it is reasonably straight forward, so save yourself some cash and replace it yourself. Instructions and tools come with the replacement screen.

ok i have located some seats at a reasonable price, however, they are 200miles away and id rather not drive all that way. does anybody know of a good courier service that will bring them to me at a reasonable cost. also the seats are heated, my current ones are not. what will i need other that the switches to make them work? is the wiring in place? and are the actual seats easy to fit?
thanks for all of your help so far guys, greatly appreciated

I don't know about the leather, it was just an idea off the top of my head 
I would imagine you'd need a thin sheet of leather, a good pair of scissors and some adhesive. Maybe you could get an expert car trimmer to do it for you.
Don't know how hard it would be but if successful, it should be mega-cool.
