Going to paint it Monday

Very dirty pic after 240 miles lol

No doubt you've been asked this before, but can I have the specs (including offsets) on your wheels please?

Today I successfully fitted a new driver's side window regulator wire.......Far easier than the Mazda MX5 we had before the Z4

Started on a spring clean today. Cut short by yet more rain though. Hopefully get a few miles in driving tomorrow. It's been too long since the last decent blast.

I would bring the front part in to the bodywork, like the rear part is.

Other than that, they look great. Always wanted a pair of these on my car, but I hate the way the ends stick out from the sideskirt. If both ends were finished the way you've done the rear part on your's, I'd buy them

Thanks! I did what could with these. They are universal ones i got on ebay for 50 bucks shipped. A little cutting involved and I'm still trying to figure out how to make the front end of them mold to the car a little better. Overall I think they look alright.

Thats a nice finish for those wheels.

After finishing the arches I’ve made a start on cleaning up and waxoyling the under side. Was thinking of painting it (done this in the past on my focus RS with great results) however my aim with the Z4 is to preserve it as long as possible over the looks...

Had the refurb'd wheels I bought from ScoobyR1 fitted yesterday. Gave her a thorough clean today & took her for a roof down blast

I gave the car a thorough clean, polished the exhaust tips and lubricated all the hinges and catches with GT85. Always nice to have a clean car!
