Springtime almost here. What springtime jobs for your Z4?

I'll be getting the 135's refurbished next week as there's a few marks on them where they've been kerbed and some chips from stones.

£45 per wheel at the local Powder Coating place in Greenock. Will probably go for as close to the original silver colour as possible. They done an excellent job on a set of Split Rim 108's before Christmas on a mates Z4.

Stone chips being sorted out too at another local bodyshop.

Interior Valet being done on the car too by one of the local Valet places who aren't of ethnic minority. That's a job I hate and would rather pay for it to be done than do it myself!

I need to get my a*se in gear and have my 224s refurbed!

Only other plan is to drive it!

First dry day (tomorrow?) clean the roof - hell everything goes green here over a mild winter

New shocks and springs to be fitted.
Discovered my insurance won't charge me for fitting wheel spacers, which surprised me.
After that I need a bit of paint correction for swirls and some stone chips.

Gordon, who are you getting to powder coat your wheels?

Was going to paint my Facelift rear bumper and fit it with facelift rear lights. Now have to get the front one painted at the same time too..

Need to get around to having the mirrors fold and unfold when locking/starting the engine.

Clean the filter in my GruppeM, check engine mounts, fit new springs, clean underneath. A number of other small jobs when I can remember them

She's booked in for MOT & ccv replacement on the 20th at my local indy. I dont really expect any major issues but my finger nails will be a lot shorter by the end of that day for sure

The following weekend my newly refurb'd 103's will be fitted & I'll be replacing those horrible wheel bolts with some nice shiny chrome ones

Good price for the powder coat, do they remove & refit the tyres for that money as well?

Fit new coilovers and get the new tyres fitted with an alignment. Then split lights and install halos.

Removes the wheels, tyres, powdercoats them, refits the tyres, balances the wheels and fits them.

I’m fitting Mtec drilled disks and EBC yellow stuff pads along with ATE fluid at the weekend.

Alloy wheel refurb - although the wheels themselves are excellent reps the paint isn’t perfect and it’s been annoying me.

Carbon mirrors - ‘need’ them now I’ve fitted the skirt extensions

Zinc plated wheelbolts to go on after refurb.

I’ve been cleaning the roof with roof cleaner on every wash over the winter to get it really clean ready for black dye and proofer - split opinions on the proofer I know...

A good old fashioned spruce up ready for the summer!

Acf50 the whole underside, especially the brake pipes. Change gearbox oil.
