Front looks a bit like an e-type. Pity they then fitted an elephant’s arse! 🤣

I have heard that Tribute body panels are not very well moulded and take a lot of work to fit.
My kit is supposed to be one of the best moulded and it's bloody awful, so dread to think what those are like.

BTW I think those 'things' look awful too. The eBay price is plus VAT and that is just the body panels and a few additional plastic bits. 'Mondeo grille'. :lol:
They will cost circa £30k to complete properly and those just aren't worth hardly anything when done.

There is only one Z3 rebody kit that looks good IMO and are worth good money.....and I'm building it (or at least attempting to)! :D
All good things come to those who wait. I'm really impatient which explains a lot.

F31 320i. Good car.
E89 20i Now fully dried
Z3 'free litre'. Project and a half. Complicated!
Mazda3 sold
Tatty old R56 Mini Cooper. Money pit!

IF I ever get mine finished, I would like to speak to you about PPF. :thumbsup:

It will have a very expensive paint job, and being GRP I will worry about stone chips and road scratches.
