Well due to a change in circumstances I have some spare time to spend on the z4 , started this morning with the boot however didn't exactly go to plan . Now I've looked into it lots of wrappers do them in 2 parts as your left with lots of excess vinyl when you bend it over that needs getting rid of . With the z4 it will look shite with a seam in so I'm going to have to try again with the one sheet Image
