Finally painted my calipers, not sure on the colour tho. It matches the BMW Logo but was hoping for something darker. It may improve as it dries.
Ignore the alloy that is slowly delaminating.

My first ever successful wrap... nope not the mirrors, the A pillars next to them. Ok I know it's an easy job, but not for me I'm useless at wrapping.
I quite like it too, kinda separates the top section from the chassis and accentuates the Z lines.

So I finally got round to fitting the bigger brakes. Grilled and grooved all round, braided hoses.
Calipers are refurbed 330i ones. Rears are still the standard 294mm.
Took way longer than it should of lol

WIP: De-Yellowing the headlights by hand... God it is boring, almost wish I hadn't started.
First off with 600 grit on the cordless, dropped down through 400, 320 to 240 by hand. Back up to 3000 via 320 ,600, 800, 1200, 2500 by hand.
Needs polishing out still, then wax until I put the ceramic coating on or that 303 stuff.
Headlights also need cleaning on the inside

Compound, polish and waxed! Can't honestly say I am overly impressed with the state of the light housing (inside). The yellowing has gone though.z4too4 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 17, 2018 11:49 am WIP: De-Yellowing the headlights by hand... God it is boring, almost wish I hadn't started.

I think I will use the cordless drill up to 2500 on the other one. Last 3000 by hand.

You'll need to round off the corners and apply a bit of cleaning up.

Who’d have thought something so small could make such a difference! Definitely a worthwhile mod. Mine was already removed when I bought my Zed, but I had it done on my old E46 330.
