All these pics of the cars with the tops on gets me thinking I should dig mine out, but still hankering after a few mor topless rides before it goes on.

Thanks Stuart, I'm thinking I 'hardtopped' too soon - we've had some lovely clear bright days recently

That makes me excited in my pants

very nice! I think it needs gloss black (or any gloss coloured) wheels though, as they look dirty next to the beautiful black bodywork.

Ahhh, I get where you're coming from but I like the matt-gloss contrast grand theft look.

Thanks Chris. Photos taken in Camden, behind the Costa on Chalk Farm Road. I pass it on the way to and from Wing Chun-always wanted to take a few pics. It's one of those places you'd never know was there unless you had reason to cut through to the housing estates, which most avoid...Yep, Blacked out all the badges, tho' I'd like to get the car sprayed and the front and rear badges removed, filled and painted. I think the badges look cheap especially on the side indicators, but the law says the sides have to stay. Not going to be able to afford a respray for a bit so the blackouts will have to do for the mo. I know it's a strange opinion that BMW badges look cheap on Zs...I don't think they should've put the badges on the roadsters. Maybe just a removable sticker,

But it's advertising so why would they leave them off. Always loved the whippy, makes it look like a big toy, which it is

Long awaited! Looks really good.

I trust they did a good job with the paint work? Removal and re-installation of the lining went okay as well?

Yep, the lining, window and seals all off and back on.
