I normally just ring/message the ebay breakers that advertise breaking z4s, most seem to have front end impact though!Steve.Eagle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 9:32 pm Ok great, that's cleared that up......
Are there any specialist breakers / shops etc that anyone could recommend for parts?
I've been looking on eBay but can't seem to find many parts for sale.

Seems a lot of hassle! I like the orange indicators on the car - I think it matches the styling!

I restore classic cars for a living mate so used to having a car down to a bare tub...... a job like this is nothing compared to what I'm used too.chrisgreen wrote: ↑Sun Dec 17, 2017 1:07 am Seems a lot of hassle! I like the orange indicators on the car - I think it matches the styling!
I personally don't like the "orange" indicators on my car, it's the only part that makes it look dated in my eyes.

I detest orange too! I think your best bet for the rear is a set of clears with some red tint applied, they can be picked up relatively cheap.

+1 for the orange indicators particularly on the rear
I think my car looks immaculate considering it’s almost 14 years old and happy for the orange indicators to reflect its age.
Saying that though, the clear front lights do look good too

In addition to searching for individual parts also search for Z4 breaking on ebay etc and drop the seller a message with what you need.Steve.Eagle wrote: ↑Thu Dec 14, 2017 9:32 pm Ok great, that's cleared that up......

Facelift lights are a) like rocking horse s**t and b) when they do come up, big money for what they are. Happy hunting, some get lucky!
