Luke and his Z - Getting there!

[LukeMace]

Good choice did you go for an illuminated one? Good old Christmas I've got new wheel bolts/nuts on my list and an iPod connection gadget if I can decide which one! Santa is a nice man...

ha! He is a jolly ol' fella hey!

I've just bought an iPod integration unit from Ranski. The connects 2 thingy. Looks like it will do the job nicely I have the parrot already which has the iPod connector etc, BUT I'd rather be able to have everything on the Nav Display and I never use the disk changer anyways so no loss!
I went for the standard one. I do quite a bit of evening driving and I thought the light in an odd place would not look quite right and annoy me
They do look nice though!

Just received new M badges for the wheels. Old ones had seen better days so got rid and replaced them with some metalic coloured ones... Will grab a shot now...

Should go nicer with the new roundels that will be here shortly!

Just ordered a set of LED fog lights for when I change the bumper over. 102 SMS led H11s.

Next on the list is the comfort module. Write up by Bad_Pritt on what it is here: http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=40688

It continues! There is going to be a stock of things for Christmas then a mass change during the Christmas break Excited!

So, had an issue with the ZHP coming so I cancelled it and bought the Performance Gear Knob instead having had a little time looking at pics etc i have ordered a new gaiter too to match the suede on the knob.

[LukeMace]

This is what it will look like...

So after getting a little impatient seeing the facelift bumper staring at me I decided to test fit it and see how it looks... LOVE IT! Ended keeping it on and will get it re painted in a couple of weeks. Debating weather or not to spray the whole car. I've been toying with the idea of changing to white.
I also sprayed the front grills black which makes a big difference.
Also fitted the LED fogs which look great!
Will post some update pics tomorrow

BMW performance Gearknob arrived today and it feels fantastic! That's a Christmas preset from my inlaws so I'm going to have to wait for that!
Suede cover as above arrived too so looking forward to getting them on the car.
Honestly though, it feels lovely!!!!!

Wow you've been busy! Look forward to pics...

[LukeMace]

Had an hour or so free today so decided to play with the Z!
I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to get the old bumper off and pop the new one on. I read the guide on here in the how to section a few days ago and it looked pretty simple, and it was! Result!
Just bought a new roof aswell so will be swapping that after Christmas sometime. (Motor is dead so looking for a new one, seller had the whole roof for a good price so I will take the lot and plumb it all in soon!)

Most looking forward to the Gearknob though!!

Thanks for the wheels!

More than welcome!!

I'm rubbish at getting pictures of the car at the min!
Will get some up of the new bumper on tomorrow.

Update on things purchased...

Handbrake lever from MachineMonkey (just like to add the quality is FANTASTIC! Thanks)


Ally radio knobs from MachineMonkey. Again fantastic


Little picture of a close call on a kerb I had earlier today...

Will be a little more careful in future!!

Had a little sneak peak at the Performance Gear Knob too ...


Last but not least I've just ordered a keyless start stop control
Link here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/NEW-RFID ... 63512.html

Will loop out OEM imobiliser to be able to run it keyless, so the built in imobiliser on this was a must.


Ooh, and I got my front bumper washer plugs from Jamie at Sopers through today!
Roll on Christmas!!!

List so far to do over Christmas week:
Install iPod integration kit
Change gear knob and gaiter
Change handbrake lever
Change radio knobs

Then soon as this keyless system comes... Get it all plumbed in!
