Hello everyone
I've been lurking the forum for over a year now as I purchased a 3.0si last summer. The car was a big step up from my first car, a 1.25 Fiesta that I had for 5 years!
A couple of pics on the day of purchase..
Soon after purchasing the car I noticed a lot of forum members ditching the run flats and replacing with normal tyres. So I went for a set of Eagle F1s, at the same time I saw that member on here (del_tl1000r) bought a set of alloys from cmwwheels so I also did the same (increasing the wheels from 17" to 19").
Driving a tractor wasn't great....so I purchased a set of Eibach coilovers to drop the car.
Pic of the zed in the garage...
and after...
I've also stuck on a stubby and replaced the front grill
I'm only planning one more mod and that is to fit 10mm eibach spacers on each wheel. I'm having difficulty in locating a set of black extended wheel nuts. Can anyone help?

Looking good on the M4s with the drop go easy with the spacers though , if those are et38/et40 9.5j rear with lowered suspension you won't be far off the arch liner adding a 10mm spacer .
It looks like there is room but feel up around the arch & you will notice the liner is a strange profile , sits out from the back of the metal , silly design , no reason why it couldn't be flush

Hi and welcome to the forum (finally)!
Fiesta 1.25 to 3 litre Z4 is quite a step up in power - you must be grinning from ear to ear every time you get on the loud pedal!
Some tasteful mods too (with the possible exception of the stubby). Other than that your Z4 is looking great!

Coupes because stunning!

Yes, it's an amazing car and the engine sounds so good, really pleased that I got a 3.0.Mr Tidy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2019 10:05 pm Hi and welcome to the forum (finally)!

Thanks, I will have to check that. I didn't drop the wheels too much so there should be some space :Smr wilks wrote: ↑Sun Mar 31, 2019 12:30 pm Looking good on the M4s with the drop go easy with the spacers though , if those are et38/et40 9.5j rear with lowered suspension you won't be far off the arch liner adding a 10mm spacer .

Btw there isn't a '3.0si' in the E89 range, 3.0si only exists as an E85 or E86
Here are all the E89 models:
