The Exclusive Club Maldives II

[GreySquirrel]

Thanks, on it now!

 

[Zedebee]

Here's my recent acquisition, a 2004 2.2 SE with 72k. It was bought as a bit of a project car, it's been a quick project, and all issues except an oil leak and crazed paint on the top of the front driver's wing have been sorted out. So, like many others apparently, I'm looking for a Maldives blue driver's wing...

Welcome to you and your lovely Z4. I’m afraid driver’s front wing issues are a special curse of Maldives Blue owners.

Someone beat me to it! Thanks anyway.

There’s a Maldives being broken on eBay , including the elusive front wings, if anyone’s interested

No, not that one. Seller is spares4bmsltd, or search for “Maledivian”. All the panels are listed separately.

 

[raymond.harper]

Thanks for that! Have bought a sill for only £40. Good spot!

 

[Sludgepump]

That looks good for the money! Did you spot this while you were there?

At £200 I'd prefer to get my existing wing sprayed i think

For £200 I would expect perfection, there is rust in the front corner which would cost at least to put right so a waste of money really

 

[Zedebee]

Bad value for a cosmetic upgrade, but ok to replace a damaged panel (as so many seem to be).

 

[Zedebee]

Anyone looking for Maldives panels at the moment?

 

[raymond.harper]

What do you have?

 

[GreySquirrel]

Do you have a front drivers wing and drivers door please?

 

[enuff_zed]

Hi chaps, I spoke to Ben as 'Maldives Secretary'. I have a very good passenger door and NSF wing. Good rear bumper. Striaght but stonechipped front bumper and side skirts with the usual chipping on the rear. The bonnet is good and straight but with a couple of long scratches in front of thre driver. Almost looks like a pheasant or something has gone up it.
OSR wing is pretty good. drivers door is good but with scratches.
If there's anything I can help you with, let me know and I'll send over photos.

2003 Maldives Blue 3.0i auto
Previously: Maldives Blue 2.5i manual (its back!) and another, and a Monaco Blue 3.0Si coupe

The Z4 market has not been this low in as long as I can recall, and I've been looking at them on and off since about 2015.

Someone got a great deal there. The full Aero kit is probably worth 50% of that selling price!

As you say prices are probably as depressed as sellers, which does seem strange in June as it's prime Roadster season. :?
