Had a set of those pedal covers on my Z4 for over two years they look the part and have not fallen off. I think mine were a bit cheaper.

Hi Steve,
Your car looks fantastic, i really like the subtle modifications that you have made.
Personally, my vote is for the standard 326 wheels as in the garage photograph. Have you put the thicker rear suspension pads yet? as I am keen to see the side view with the rear to front pitching forward.
One more question, has the Eibach springs stiffened up the suspension and made the ride more harsh.
Congratulations on the mods so far

These aren’t CSL’s! They’re M359’s which are from the E92 M3 Comp Pack and the 1M I believe
Thanks!

I still love the 326’s and I may keep them and swap between the 2.
I’ve not fitted the rear pads yet, they’re in the boot ready to be fitted, just haven’t got round to it yet!
The Eibachs have definitely stiffened up the car. I wouldn’t say it’s harsh though. They haven’t ruined the car that’s for sure.

Hi all, hopefully get the rear spring pads fitted tomorrow!
All 4 Wheels will the be refurbished - due to an unfortunate issue with acid at a car wash being used
I’m then going to have all of the paintwork tidied up so it’s perfect, I’ve then promised to myself that I will clean my car myself moving forward!
Splitter should be on in the next few weeks then time to start on the side skirts!
I’m going to have the Centre silencer removed soon and fit some new tips

Well this may sound stupid but I’m now buying another set of M359 Wheels
I’ll then have the first set refurbished and I’ll sell them on as well as my old M326 Wheels!
Never got a chance to fit the rear spring pads but hopefully I can get this done on Monday. I’ve got a booking for Monday to get the centre silencer removed.
I’m going to my local body shop for a quote to get the paint work sorted tomorrow morning.
Then the rear valance is being wrapped gloss black to match the rest of the car and I think I’m going to go with gloss black calipers / disc bells. Or do you think I should go for Red or Blue calipers???
I’m really hoping that the car is absolutely perfect for summer!!

They’re accepting no responsibility at all. I’ve been advised that it’s practically impossible to prove it was them as well so any money spent trying to gain compensation is likely to be a waste.
I could do without the stress of all that for the sake of a few hundred £’s.

I’m going to be really happy once the paint is sorted (had a really good quote from the body shop who did my hoops and side indicators for a front end respray / rear quarter and some touch ups), rear raised slightly, splitter fitted, exhaust a tad louder and maybe a little sub just to add some bass to the improvements I’ve made to the sound system.
