Re: Hello all
Thanks everyone. I don't currently have very many high quality pictures of the zed as yet but I'll throw one up in a second.
Bit of background - I just turned 25, and after spending 11 months looking for a 1 owner 3 Litre Msport Highline edition with red seats, 2 popped up at the same time , one at Sytner Sheffield and one at Sytner Bham. Was looking for Tan seats with wood dash but I saw a total of ZERO for sale throughout the whole year so I just gave up.
Tis a nice upgrade from the Fiesta I have been running for the last 3 years.
Checked both and went for Sytner Sheffield and haven't looked back since.
Have since had the car fully detailed , polished waxed and sealed, not a swirl mark in sight which makes very happy and paranoid at the same time.
I'm now looking to mod it slightly, dropping it on Eibachs or H&R's then putting some spacers on there. Was thinking about wrapping the interior trim dark Carbon Fibre but i'll see what I can afford.
I also don't run a front numberplate at the minute, I think it looks beautifully aggresive without and want to see how long I can get away with it. ( speeding through Average speed checks is also lovely.
(Excuse this one, she just couldn't help herself to a picture in the boot...useful to know she will fit if she talks out of turn (kidding ..) )

I'm down in North London and will be sure to give you all a wave on the roads.
I'm from Enfield, not too far from Punter in Harrow. I've seen a handful of z4's over the last year, can probably count them on one hand. Typical that the day I buy it I see 3 on the drive home. Obligatory wave went their way of course.

Re: Hello all
They do look good without the front plate. I await your report on the cost of the fine or whether you get a warning

Re: Hello all
You could probably get away with no front plate as it fell off officer, but as the rear looks to be illegal as well then Mr Officer will be out with his summons

Re: Hello all
When I saw the 2nd pic I thought: " Blimey that was a result, mine only had soft top covers in the boot when I bought it."
Looks very nice - and the car!
Enjoy

Ah superb, I live near Oakwood / Cockfosters. How about yourself? I would love to get a closer look at your 35i.
