Just imagine filling in the insurance application."Any Modifications"?

It never ceases to amaze me that someone thought an 18i was the right model for this. I'd have put the money towards a 35i/is!

I actually like it, apart from the light aircraft on the bootlid. Got to admire the effort and money invested. :thumbsup:

I can see the logic. If you are going to spend £25k on bodywork/ interior, you wouldn't want to spend that again mending the N54 every five minutes... :lol: :lol: :poke:

Presume the idea was all 'show', not 'go'. :?

Take a car with lovely sleek lines and throw gobs of plastic at it!
After all the years I've owned it I still look at mine and love the way lines flow up from the front bumper, across the bonnet, along the wings, down the sides and to the back.
This thing just interrupts any attempt at a flowing line anywhere...............................nay, nay and thrice nay!

Always happy to help if I can.

If the forum helped you, why not help the forum back. Thats the Z4 way! :thumbsup:

One part I found interesting was the body colour matched interior plastics…shades of the Fiat Coupe and 500 :thumbsup:
We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I can understand any attempt to make a Z4 look like the GT3 version, but... a rear wing with the roof down just looks utterly ridiculous.

This is a showcar which has been done to a very high standard. A lot of effort gone into this and there are some elements I really like Least the owner has been brave and really had a go at creating something a bit different, whether it's to your taste or not. Probably too shocking for here, even spinning wheel centres are too shocking for here! :oldman:

Nah, no aerial. Deal killer. Or does the rear spoiler functions as aerial ? Lol
