Hi Rob & welcome
Looks great!

Looks like you have the extended leather pack? I could be wrong, but notice the roll bars with it, don't get to see those very often that's for sure!
ha Jamie, you beat me to it ;P

Thanks guys.. I was looking for a Boxster S and saw this and the Boxster was forgotten. It has the full leather everywhere including the tops of the door which I guess isn't standard?

I also have a 2011 320d Exclusive, a 2017 Leon FR and a Stage 3.5 VX220 SC and a moaning wife :-)

I did fancy changing the wheels to 19s (CSL staggered) but I'm not sure.. Definitely replacing the grills for black but I do find the lack of blue tooth connectivity (unless I'm missing something) a touch annoying but I guess I can buy a kit to hard wire my I pod in?

Cheers

Welcome OP.

Your Z4 looks lovely, especially with that extended leather option. :thumbsup: I really like Montego Blue and the lighter leather colours seem to suit it well (but then I'm biased)!

Enjoy. :driving:
