I left it to someone else to faff about with it. Apparently heating it up to stretch it out worked a treat. The middle supports need trimming down a fair bit. The splitter itself is not as wide as the Z4 bumper, but the ends are longer and overhang the end of the bumper and touch the wheels.mjennings23 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 6:44 pmMuch modification needed to the splitter? Considering one myself
All in all there's a bit of fettling to do.

Doesn't sound like anything a heat gun and a dremel can't fix then! Cheers, ordered one with the 10% off ebay code floating around.LittleZ4 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 14, 2018 6:50 pmI left it to someone else to faff about with it.

Definitely holding back,AC5L4T3R wrote: ↑Mon Aug 06, 2018 10:12 am Didn't change anything but made use of the Autobahn driving from Stuttgart to Munich and back. Drank way too much fuel, driving both ways with the roof down didnt help matters. Either way, it really is fun hitting 130-140 without a care in the world.
On a side note, maybe someone can shed some light on this. On the way there, I had a new Golf GTI behind me for some way that would push me between 80-110 but once we got to 115-120 he'd start falling behind and didn't seem like he could keep up. Was the driver holding back or was my car just too much in the higher range?
Just come back from Germany, 105 just keeping up with traffic isn't for me and rep mobeeels flying past me doing 130/140 ....bloody barmy.
Also a Golf GTi got wrecked right in front of me, went off the motorway veered to the left across 3 lanes walloped the barrier and bounced on its wheels back on to the verge...write off!

i binned my run flats and put some ordinary tyres on, now off for a nice little run to bed them in and see whats what.
If you ever think I'm off my rocker.. Just put me back in it and walk away... It's the kindest thing
My wife says I never listen - or something like that.

I have use of one and it's a lovely car but the torque curve is pants compared to a sixer. I'd say you were hitting the sweet spot on the rev band where he was going past it's max curve, unless he dropped a cog.stupot1 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 15, 2018 11:35 amDefinitely holding back,AC5L4T3R wrote: ↑Mon Aug 06, 2018 10:12 am Didn't change anything but made use of the Autobahn driving from Stuttgart to Munich and back.

Dumped my 15mm/20mm Front and Rear spacers due to tramlining issues etc. All down to the scrub radius with the spacers on.

De-gingered the front end with a pair of facelift headlights, to go with the back and sides already done.
Really pleased with the end result which IMO looks much more up to date.

Had a micro-meet. met up with tug today, top bloke, chief design was to commiserate and compare our baby zeds we talked about pink floyd and drank coffee and then went and played with our cars, tugs car is immaculate, lazy sod that i am i didnt even wash mine.. but it did rain on the way over ( compulsory roof down of course) so it it got a wash of sorts, and so did i a bit... he reset something for me and gave me a new car to drive home in. I decided he is my twin brother, if only partially because he is as ugly as me A neighbour walked up and asked if it was a hairdresser's convention, I of course asked him if he wanted something for the weekend Sir.
