I'm gonna debagde the rear as well.
How did you do it?
Heat? Fishingline? What did you use to remove the leftover glue?
TIA

Hairdryer to warm the glue until the badges can be prised off with fingers , then plain & simple baby wipes to remove the residue before adding a little waxPhilly_Sweden wrote: ↑Tue Oct 03, 2017 6:24 am I'm gonna debagde the rear as well.

The colour of the callipers looks very close to the M Sport ones which have been fitted on new BM's over the last year or so. Did you paint/spray them yourself and if so what did you use please.

I was thinking more of the colour reversal - diffusers are usually black - than the design, which, you're right, would look like a snow plough on the back of a Z.

So i left the car with my indy earlier in the week & collected it yesterday . 49k covered so had gearbox oil changed along with oil + filter ( more for my own self as it was only done a few thousand miles ago ) plus changed from the factory Msport to H&R lowering springs . Running short of tasks now

Mr Wilks, I love how you can take these Z4's and with a few well-thought out mods transform them into fantastic looking and performing cars. I would be proud to own any of your 'cast offs' when you move on to new projects (but I think someone already has first dibs on this one when you decide to flip again ).
Well done sir, well done

Update / 4 months into this Z & absolutely loving it enjoyed a great 10 days in France with it late October early November such a great all rounder its hard not to be won over by it whilst there spent 3 days out on the roads with 6 ZMRs & a Alpina & it was more than capable of performing at ///M level
1800 miles covered since bought , zero issues other than replacing original battery for the same Varta AGM .
Have had a couple of wheel changes along the way currently running a set of 405M style 19s & a set of Quantum S2's .

Well i would never rule out any Z i don't get involved with having to have the biggest spec or highest bhp , buy what suits at a price that suits & more importantly to me , a well kept & previously cherished example

You forgot to add a non OAP example, i.e. manual gearbox
