You might have time to remove the M badge from the front grill before the M badge police notice it’s there :P

I don't understand why people put these on, or what they think it says? (it is obviously totally up to the owner)

Boot spoilers can also be a bit hit & miss, but I've seen some nice ones on here. I wonder if anyone's started a 'show your boot spoiler' thread?

I think the back just needs something to break up the rear a little carbon lip spoiler would so do the trick.

I’m fine with the badges on the side/rear as they’re factory fit, it’s the extra one on the grill I’m not so keen on.
All a matter of personal taste of course :thumbsup:

Looks very nice but that leather (from experience) will require a lot of effort to keep it clean!
It was my first choice when I specced my latest Z in Aug 16 but it wasn’t available. :thumbsdown:

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with. :thumbsup:

Yes it agitates the stubborn grime and dirt and a soft bristle will bring it to the surface works a treat I even did it on the sellers drive before I bought it :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
