Congratulations it looks great. :thumbsup: Funnily enough I did a double take on the dual carriageway on the way home tonight and thought I saw a g29 in a colour I'd not seen before and thought it must have been wrapped.. Turns out it was this colour :D :thumbsup:
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D

Not sure what youve done to that picture, but it doesnt look right..
It actually looks like youve shrunk the car slightly...

Cheers. I used ti22 in Chepstow who I can't speak highly enough of.

The car doesn't currently resemble the pictures post detailing following a 600 round mile trip last week to Norfolk. Just waiting for a bit of cool weather to give it a thorough clean.

I’m looking to pull the trigger on a new G29, it was going to be Thundernight but after seeing one at the dealers I was a tad disappointed.

Trouble is, there isn’t a great deal of choice in colour on the Z4. I had an E89 in Valencia Orange at one time, that was a great paint job, shone like fire in the sunshine!

Anyhow Boyo, your car looks great after detailing, enjoy many happy hours!

I am told by my local dealers that Isle of Man green may be available in a Z4 soon. Currently only on M models throughout the range but think it will look good on a G29 with beige / cream leather interior.

May consider that as and when.

That’s interesting. IOM green would look great on a Zed.

I’m seeing the dealer on Sunday, will definitely raise the question :)

I agree over colour choice. I struggled and kept changing my mind. I just wanted something that was different to all the other colours I see daily on a variety of mundane cars (red and blue and thundernight are the best options IMHO). The magma interior on mine became the differentiator, so I became less concerned about the exterior and ended up with white to make the interior really pop.

Cheers. Thundernight is a bit marmite. It's looks quite a muted purple under a cloudy sky but when the sun comes out boy does it pop. It has generated a fair bit attention in the short space of time I have had it. I have seen IOM Green in the flesh on an M3 Touring, looks good but I am not a fan of green cars.
