Did some mods to the 35iS
I've had the car since summer time and thought I would try and make it look better, the idea was to be quite subtle with the changes. Here are some of the things changed in pics...

...its has the following done
Lowered 20 and 15mm, front and rear ARB kit, wheels spacers to make flushon, CF front splitter and side skirts, changed exhaust tips for steel/CF 90mm options and a rear boot spoiler. There is still a CF rear diffuser to complete the look at the back. I'm pleased with the look.

Those wheels do really suit the car. Looks great in that colour.

Look great, but bet those wheels are a complete ball-ache to clean!

Thanks all.
2 days in ..a little review on driving feel from suspension changes. Just wanted to start off by saying that I am not a boy racer, so don't treat the roads like a racetrack, but have had many performance cars that were meant to handle well.
I have already noticed the cars handling feels quite different to stock,..in a significantly improved handling way. When you 1st buy this car there is a sense that the front lifts up when you plant the throttle, and also there is a body roll/ sense of weight transfer from left to right when doing chicane type twin roundabouts at a progressive speed. Both these feelings from the car takeaway driver confidence, but are changed for the better with these mods. The ride comfort is not much different to stock however. The Comfort setting damps the same as before, ..just with the nice feeling of better body control. I went for Eibach for both springs and ARB. Doing just the springs alone gives better body control, so a relatively cheap way to make you realise what's been missing on the driver involvement and "chuckability"side. The car should really be like this from stock, and feels much more like one would have expected for a sports touring Z4 coupe IMO.

Your car looks amazing. I love the mods you have done and want to do something similar to my newly acquired E89 S20i 2015. Can you tell me where you got the front splitter from as I see a few on the internet. I am also keen to looking into improving the handling so will look at springs and ARB. Thanks for sharing

Thanks again for the kind comments all.
Here's the link for the CF skirts. I also got the painted rear boot spoiler from the same place.
