Can anyone confirm if the inside of the standard Z4 bumper has etchings where the 2nd exhaust cut out should be?

I didn't see one - but it may have been hacked away by the idiots that did the original cut out. I'd be surprised as the Z4 bumper, from the inside, isn't symmetrical. CJ, did you see this when you did yours?

Thinking about it, the other reason I'd actually be very surprised if it was there, the bumpers aren't even marked up for their respective aero kit "diffusers".

No marks on mine and no reason there would be as the moulding is asymmetric and there is no rhs outlet application

Exactly. Am curious to know where this came from? Even on other models where there is the option for a LHS or LHS + RHS setup, surely they'd just have separate moulds?

You'd think so. On some parts such as the cowling where cruise control fits I can see the reason for the marking in that they probably add an extra bit to the mould to leave the cut out and that leaves a faint 'cut' line, which we can see and use.

Rear bumper - can't see why at all

I so want a quad exhaust system now. I have spoken to MStyle and they can give any details of their customers so I will just have to see if anyone on here has had the system fitted from Mstyle.... Maybe I should just go down the custom route rather than an off the peg one...

Ranski - I'm based in Richmond (surrey) at the moment but I do travel around... Why do you ask?

as im going to a place in Bham center to get mine done on the 24th - if they turn out alright and the price is your liking they might be an option?

Longlife exhausts also did this for me....
as you can see it is t'd off the left box but looks and sounds awesome - very raspy at high revs and low and burbly at low revs, exactly what i wanted. i can highly recommend their work!!

and now with centre section sprayed with matt black high temp paint & centre grille section installed

Very nice - but did you need a new rear bumper, looks like it's an M bumper..?

If they do a good job for you I'll book mine in with them.

What sort of cost are you looking at?

That looks really nice, where is Longlife based and how much was it? I have managed to find a Utube clip of the MStyle quad conversion and it looks a bit shoddy - what do people think

I have emailed Longlife and havnt had a reply yet... I think if they arent that expensive they appear to be a decent company to use for the quad conversion. The Mstyle quad system sounds a bit pants me thinks...

your link is not working. http://youtu.be/t-CqitmxqQY , i dont think that its the Mstyle exhaust. I think they mean Z4M style exhaust. Also, the user who posted the video is registered in slovakia...
