Pretty incredible journey - over 2 years from the first post! All the newer members should take an afternoon to read through all this from day one. It's like an epic engineering novel!

It is like a novel this post! A lot of ups and downs like a good book to.

I absolutely 100% need to see this finished mate, it's an epic build. If I keep the Z4 then this will be the inspiration to have it boosted ;)

If you go boosted I can put you on to a guy that sells and installed a great kit.

It just gets better and better. Are you cutting the bottom section off the blue bumper and stitching it to the top of your z4 bumper?

Spent a bit more time on the front wheel arch today. In total I only have about 2 hours in this. And it fits better than the Z4 rears made for my car!!
