What have you done to your car today?
After some research and speaking to forum members I finally found a set of LEDs which I thought would be good for the Z4. Got them installed at the weekend but only last night got a pic of them at night.
They are bright, but very happy with them!

Quite happy with my freshly cleaned roof.
I've always managed to get it looking fairly good with Milton diluted down, but this year I've struggled to get rid of the increasing number of ingrained lichen type growths. I don't think my drive being very shady helps. I took a brave pill and today used Harpic Limescale Remover watered down 1:1 which was a little worrisome I'll admit! I scrubbed it in and left it to dwell for about 45 and so far I'm quite pleased with the results.

Did clutch and dual mass yesterday, release bearing was knackered and the flywheel had way too much play in it, glad I bothered.
Was going to do slave cylinder also but it was fine.

This is what I got (on the recommendation of another forum member)
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/372593012558 ... 1361292559
I was also advised to order these clips but I didn't need them. However, I do have aftermarket units in my car.

If you do end up ordering the lights and need a hand, send me a message mate.

I replaced the drivers side front tie rod as it got an advisory on the mot. Undoing the two nuts that had 18 years use was interesting. I found the whole process therapeutic and rewarding.
