Yeah, I have those in my watch list. I'd love to have them but I really can't justify that kind of cash. Just teasing myself tbh

There's a black set for £800 too. Still more than I want to spend though.

Agreed & yes I'd seen those too. Need to be red for me though. Been looking for a red passenger side door card for the last 18 months as mine's slightly damaged. No luck so far though

Those red ones are gorgeous, but so expensive!

Actually over the past few days, given it a fettle, washed, waxed, leather cleaned, glass polished, engine bay cleaned, items taken off, cleaned and put back, strut brace turned around and put on the correct way, with the ‘V’ facing forward then went for a drive

Had to get these shipped from the UK - couldn't seem to find black ones anywhere here

.
The Z4 didn't come with any, I guess no one steals wheels in Japan?

Bought this - hoping the OEM stubby will have better reception than what's on it now...

Gave her a good wash and wax, then took her for a drive yesterday. Snow foam, two-bucket wash, then a couple coats of Poorboy's Natty's Paste Wax. Gleaming - for a few days at least!

Winter maintenance wash, refitted machine polished original exhaust tips.

Ah simple pleasures.........

Just had the headlights cleaned/polished/restored and changed the grills from black to the standard silver.

True to form the grills didn't go smoothly, drivers side was ok but the passenger side was held in with silicone because most of the clips on the bumper are broken (don't you just love previous owners), held it securely with double sided tape until I think of a better solution.

Mine certainly seemed to be an improvement over the cheapy one that I mistakenly purchased.

Just had a Hunter Wheel Alignment done; going to go have a blast down the motorway in an hour or two to see if the twitching and the need to make constant steering adjustments has gone away. All four wheels were quite a bit out, judging by the results sheet.

Having replaced the seized steering arm I'm going to get mine done. I set it up with optical gauges but it's still not right because the rear end is still out
