Hello all!

I finally took the plunge and bought myself a Z4C!
Its been a bit of a funny day as my Alfa Giulia Veloce got picked up this morning. That was sweetened by this getting delivered this afternoon!
No immediate plans to do too much to it, but in time some subtle mods will come.
Anyway, I look forward to meeting some of you, learning about these cars, and most of all enjoying it!

Cheers

Matt

Good idea. First thing is to cut the roof off! :P

Welcome matey. :thumbsup:
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

You will quickly learn how some members express their jealousy towards coupe owners, but they can’t help it. :poke:

That looks like an absolute beauty, welcome to the forum and to Coupe ownership. They are wonderful cars and this forum is a great source of information and ways to spend your cash.

Nice car. Looks like previous owner already modded your grill and debadged it.

Yes, along with Z4 badge delete. I would have debadged myself, but i'm not 100% sold on the grill yet. We'll see if it grows on me. Might go chrome surround with black fins.

Thanks - as is often the way!
I'm really happy with it, and looking forward to being back in an analogue car, and a community!

On a black car I think a bit of chrome would help break things up. Mine is grey so I went matt black grills as the chrome looked a bit too bling. A number plate mount delete gives them a bit more of that BMW Shark Nose vibe and is another free & reversible mod.
