Black roll hoops on...
Much better in my opinion!! Can't wait to get the side repeaters and kidneys on now!
I've also ordered a wind deflector as Big Motoring World won't play ball.
Has anyone tried to make a splitter like this...
I'm not a huge lover of the carbon fibre options available and would like something simple.

Couple of shots from a recent Hindhead tunnel run before the black hoops were fitted....

Wind deflector finally sorted!
I also bought some new pedals as I've been used to metal pedals in my Mini's and I just think it smartens up an otherwise dull foot well... I wasn't too sure about the ///M logo being a tad over used but hey, I like them!!

I would love some of those pedals Steve, a nice Christmas pressie to myself, where did you get them from, how much and were they easy to fit.

Incredibly easy to fit, the accelerator pedal just slides over and sort of wedges itself on tightly. The brake pedal requires a bit more force but you basically take off the original rubber pedal cover and replace it with this one. It fits very tightly so took a few attempts to get it on and every corner on.
Been for a drive tonight and they're all good! Just getting used to the slightly thicker pedals!

Black side repeaters fitted. Not sure at the moment, I'll de-badge the wings tonight and go from there.
Definitely need to fit the black front kidneys but the gf is making me wait until Xmas... maybe if I sneakily swap them over and put the standard ones back in the box she won't notice!!

Nice, I think it's going to look even better with the black kidney grills
I've got the opposite on mine, chrome side winkers & half chrome grills.

I've got the half chrome grills at the moment! I'm not a lover of chrome but you need to go all or nothing with colour schemes so once it's all completely de chromed I'm sure I'll be happy!

I got home and was really not happy with it, I very nearly put the chrome ones back and I would of sold on the black kidney's as well abandoning my "de chrome" mission. But after looking at photos of other Z4's I decided to de-badge the wing completely which is something I wanted to do from the day I bought it especially after de-badging the Z4 on the boot lid.
Best pic I can get at the moment...
I'm now very happy!
It just looks so much tidier and the black looks right as there isn't any chrome!
I really don't want to just add tat to the car or "tart it up", I think it's a lovely car and following the kidney grills, wheel bolt covers and new OEM centre caps (don't worry, I'm not going for black BMW roundels!) I will probably leave it alone cosmetically.
One day I'd like to get the front end sitting slightly lower, fit a splitter and possibly a lip spoiler but I've not come across any that I'd be totally happy with yet.
A remap is likely to be the next modification but I will wait until I'm bored of the current power. It's never felt lacking in power and it pulls so smoothly but more is always nice!
Anyway, I'm waffling, I'm loving this car more and more and it's far exceeded my expectations!
