What have you done to your car today?
Calipers finally on! Using Brembo street pads and an 18mm front wheel spacer. Spacer is providing adequate clearance between caliper and rim. As Dubbedown figured out, I have the ZCP rims not CSL's. So far no issues!

Looking good man, got that Superman theme going on. Next time u order maintenance parts be sure to add some new valve stem caps, those black ones are doing a disservice to your wheels

Here's a pre-caliper pic with caliper color matching car color. I was thinking a patriot look, but I like the Superman theme better. So when are you going to post a pic of your McDonald's themed M?Dubbedown wrote: ↑Sat May 27, 2023 4:27 amLooking good man, got that Superman theme going on.

Silver caps, easy enough!
Running whatever low dust ceramic pads previous owner put on the rear. Want to source some rear calipers, redo and put some matching Brembo street pads (the pads for the front that fit the rear). Not sure if the Brembos are low dust! I doubt it...

Ha in due time. The coupe is sitting on stands going through a laundry list of maintenance to get ready for the track (and long drive to/from) in few weeks. In meantime I’ll be detailing the other cars this holiday weekend weather permitting.

If you want to be OCD about it, make sure the centre caps are orientated with the M badge

Paint restoration, polish and a full wax. Time for a beer!
Since owning, I've replaced the scabby bonnet, sprayed the rims, done a load of maintenance too.

Worst part is the car has to sit out in the elements for a week as I'm flying to France in the morning.

Took a nice drive with wifey down to Topsham from Torquay along the coast road. Went onto the garden centre at Clyst St Mary and back home up the dual carriageway via the Costa on the Plymouth road by the racetrack. Lovely but a bit too hot for the wife.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
